Of the opposite.. there’s soo much hate against Apple and all their contributions. But somehow Google, Meta, annd Microsoft are better represented.

Swift solves a problem that is still there. It was also released before the final release of Rust.

It’s just that people seem to think that because it’s from Apple, it’s only meant for iOS/macOS.

I love swift, it combines so many things, and Apple is really good get pushing the language forward with its compilers/warnings.

I’m also using it for shell scripts and small utils, and it’s really great. I made https://github.com/jrz/container-shell to improve the experience of scripting cli tools in Swift.
