[–] echindod@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) Just out of curiosity: which do you think is closer to Python? Kotlin or Swift? Not knowing wither, my hunch would be to say Kotlin. But I am curious. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Kotlin and Swift have similar syntax and neither are like Python to be honest. If I were to pick one, Kotlin all the way. You can do a fair amount of back-end work with itas well. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Solemarc@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) I've never used swift myself, but as far as I'm aware swift doesn't need to have a main function so I'd say it's closer permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] themusicman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's a weird way to compare them... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Solemarc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Sure, but how else should I compare a language I've never used to python? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] themusicman@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Even in python, writing code at the top level is not recommended for any non-trivial project. I mean, you might as well say "kotlin is closer to python because they both end with N". Neither method of comparison offers any value to OP. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Solemarc@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago And I said, if op doesn't want to learn a new language, here are some python mobile frameworks.
