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?
I think ML is probably going to require a lot of people in the future and I’m looking to build a digital nomad skill set for the future that pays well. While I’ve done a postgrad subject on ML and have a STEM degree, but I’m inclined to use existing libraries as that’s just easier.

If you want to train your neural nets you can maybe check out: https://github.com/rust-ml/linfa https://github.com/param087/swiftML (Rust seems to have more active support in terms of libraries)
If you want to integrate ML into an IOS/MacOs app: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreml
For userland apps Swift would be better and for training or just being generally being more useful in the future go for Rust.
At the end of the day just choose the language that is more enjoyable for you.
Sensational answer! Thank you.
There’s a recent Rust ML framework called “burn”. So maybe there’s also a future for ML in Rust for you.
