  • Julia looks like it is pointed towards ML programming and is fast, but I don’t see the same level of potential in a few years that Rust and Swift seem to have.

    Rust seems to generating a lot more buzz and I’ve been seeing posts about Swifts ML libraries that look interesting. My crystal ball seems to be saying that Rust will follow a similar arc that Python took and gain some serious ML creds through libraries built by community/industry. I think Swift will also gain some credible ML capabilities too because it has the Apple behemoth behind it.

  • Python actually isn’t my first language, just my current choice. I’ve programmed in Basic, Pascal, Fortran, PL-SQL, Prolog and C at various times in the past. My question was more about which is likely to scale over time to be the more popular ML language.

    Python also sucks for MacOS gui apps, so I was contemplating building MacOS/iOs apps for myself as a side quest.
