I find it interesting how much flack Swift takes for not having a stable ABI. Many contemporary but older languages (Go, Rust) haven't even attempted it. Go binaries aren't even really safe to use across macOS releases, since they get hardcoded to make syscalls directly.

Rust takes a lot of flak for it as well, some to the point of suggesting it's illegitimate until it has one.
