This is like the "real world" argument. Nobody uses that "in the real world", except well people that do.

Well, I do!?!! It's even faster than zoomer langs like Odin. You should try it.

Zoomer is a good word btw. I love zoomers.

And? Does it work? Because it does. It's a lot closer to C++ and you literally need like a week to start being productive and it's insanely flexible as a language. Nobody uses Swift also, but the additional problem with Swift was that it's entirely Apple-centric.

Yep, it was also a weird, not entirely pragmatic choice, even if it was well justified technically and all-in-all rational. D would be the same.

Entirely Apple-centric?
