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?

      A programming language itself isn’t a marketable skill!

      Learn the underlying concepts of programming and how computers work and you’ll be able to move from language/framework to pretty much any language/framework easily.

        Language absolutely is a marketable skill because most companies are looking to hire someone who can start working day one not someone they’ll have to train for weeks or even months in a new language that heavily relies on some specific framework.
