I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I'm not a dev so I can't really judge. What are your thoughts?

I do wonder: why not rust? It would have been amazing. A fast language on par with C++ that also is memory safe. But Swift? You gotta be kidding me...

Oh, programming language. My brain was stuck trying to figure out if Swift is related to Swiss.

Swift is a fantastic language and with c++ interop out of the box it’s the obvious choice.
