> and Swift

Can’t speak for Rust (but I hear that it is now quite mature -it predates Swift), but I’ve been programming Swift, since the day it was announced. In that time, the language, itself, has matured; possibly to the point that it’s starting to look a bit “Swiss army knife”-like.

I’m not exactly your typical jargonaut. I’ve been writing software since 1983. Been through a lot of changes, paradigms, and just plain old bullshit, in that time. I don’t really go for “shiny,” just because all the kids are into it, these days.

I do not claim everyone coding Swift or Rust is a novelty-seeker; rather, novelty-seekers were drawn to those languages, and will be drawn to others as they appear.

I can understand the appeal of abandoning Objective-C.
