Swift is at a good middle ground of performance, safety and ease of use.

It has higher level ergonomics that something like rust lacks (as much as I like rust myself), doesn’t have many of the pitfalls of Go (error handling is much better for example) and is relatively easy to pickup.

It’s not perfect by any means, it has several issues but it’s quickly becoming my preferred language as well for knocking out projects.

What are those issues I wonder. I used for one project and not sure how deep the rabbit hole might be. Just wonder.
