   As someone that’s recently been working on integrating Rust into an iOS Swift app I do agree with a lot of this. I love Rust but the more I’ve used Swift the more I find myself wishing I was just using Swift all the time. That said , the difference between the two has a lot less to do with the language itself than the world surrounding it. You can use Swift cross platform but it’s very obvious that Apple platforms a…

   I don't think that's quite the problem the OP is pointing out. A corollary of "meat proxy" is "cognitive surrender." [1] In both cases, blindly pasting AI output and being an "Enter key presser", you have surrendered your cognition. In the latter case, you're in the loop but there's not a lot of reason for you to be. Your underlying supposition is right, though. If you are truly thinking and in the loop, you are by…

   Found an interesting article about the internals of async specifically[0], also the docs[1]. TLDR: Seems like it uses a global thread pool, where each async method call yields to the runtime. Additionally, you get actors which are special classes with serialized method calls, and everybody other than itself has to call those methods as async. Additionally, you can have custom executors, who, if I understand correctl…

   If you want actual in-depth articles, SwiftRocks has some good ones. For example: https://swiftrocks.com/how-never-works-internally-in-swift I also share this opinion. This hard-on that companies have of making coding easy for everyone will be the field's downfall. Just look how people are outraged whenever algorithm's are mentioned in interviews. I lost track of how many people with "senior" positions coming to int…
