On “Apple’s use of Swift and SwiftUI in iOS 15”
I always wondered why the creator of Rust switched to Swift and just now found my answer by Graydon Hoare himself: link tl;dr it has nothing to do with the relative merits of the two languages --- Edit: I watched a couple of Lex Fridman podcasts this week with Chris Lattner (creator of Swift) that I thought were interesting Chris Lattner: Compilers, LLVM, Swift, TPU, and ML Accelerators | Lex Fridman Podcast #21 link Chris Lattner: The Future of Computing and Programming Languages | Lex Fridman Podcast #131 link to this video

On “Ask HN: What companies are you excited about?”
link to this video is an interview with SiFive's Chris Lattner. RISC-V & SiFive looks like the next step once Moore's Law ends and we need another option to increase perf/watt and perf/$. Creating device-specific chips that drop the unwanted general purpose silicon seems like the way forward.
