Swift vs Rust for WASM/WebAssembly
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on choosing between these two languages for WebAssembly?
I definitely want to explore wasm, and really love the idea of learning both of these, however, I can only squeeze one in right now.
Anyone have any thoughts? Which might be the easier route? Which will be more useful/fully featured/supported? etc.
Here are some pros and cons (from a personal perspective so far):
Rust
- Can also be used with Elixir/Erlang nifs
- Can also be used in other areas such as general web dev
- Huge community support
Swift
- Can be used for iOS/macOS apps
- While can be used for other areas (such as web dev too - I get the feeling not quite as well as Rust)
- Huge Apple support
