I’ve been programming for decades, though usually for myself, not as a profession. My current go-to language is Python, but I’m thinking of learning either Swift (I’m currently on the Apple ecosystem), or Rust. Which one do you think will be the best in terms of machine learning support in a couple of years and how easy is it to build MacOS/ iOS apps on Rust?

    I would recommend Swift out of the two, if you’re in the Apple ecosystem and want to make Apple apps. It’s a beautiful language. Otherwise, I’d use Rust.

    Side Note: For ML, I’d stick with Python. ML libraries are written in native code, but as an ML developer you almost exclusively call their code through a Python interface.
