What to learn next, Swift or Rust (lemmy.world)

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?

Thanks, this makes some sense. I've started a few tutorials for Swift, and I added the Rust plugin/module to Visual Studio Code, but neither felt intuitive to me.

That doesn't surprise me too much. They're both a good bit different than python. It's okay to take a little more time with each of them. Maybe try building one simple thing in both for more of a 1-1 comparison.
