Swift is an honorary C language. Fortran is an emeritus C language.



Swift would be the one ring to rule them all, from assembly builtin's to ORM's, running from 32-bit controllers and secure enclave to automatic differentiation on internet-scale fp16 models... if it weren't for Xcode...


I have no idea how developers for the apple ecosystem get anything done. If Xcode doesn't crash it's because it is too busy glitching out instead.


I feel like Swift falls into the G camp since that's where Rust & Go are and Swift is of a similar evolutionary branch.
