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?

What are your thoughts on it?

Julia looks like it is pointed towards ML programming and is fast, but I don't see the same level of potential in a few years that Rust and Swift seem to have.

Rust seems to generating a lot more buzz and I've been seeing posts about Swifts ML libraries that look interesting. My crystal ball seems to be saying that Rust will follow a similar arc that Python took and gain some serious ML creds through libraries built by community/industry. I think Swift will also gain some credible ML capabilities too because it has the Apple behemoth behind it.
