Swift is gaining steam, because Apple dictates it, unless one enjoys using a frozen language.

Likewese using C++ on Android requires perseverance given the how the NDK is handled and what it exposes, while on Windows it feels nice because it has parity with .NET tooling, specially on UWP.

Using a frozen language isn’t the real problem here, though.

The Apple ecosystem slowly gains new frameworks like SwiftUI that simply don’t work with Objective C anymore. The platform is abandoning one language similar to Microsoft and their VB story. It will take a long time, but AppKit & UIKit will end similarly to how Carbon ended on macOS.

Except SwiftUI is built on AppKit and UIKit as far as I know.
