> but there isn't something higher-level that offers enough of those features yet

I think Swift would tick most of those boxes, it’s a shame it hasn’t really picked up outside Apple-land.

It can be a horribly complex language, but day-to-day it’s very nice to write.



Swift doesn't have explicit namespaces, which is a real inconvenience.


Yeah, I think would be a good potential candidate if it had a full commitment to support on Linux and Windows, but unless that happens at some point, I don't think I'd consider it over Rust for anything other than Apple-specific development, which isn't something I do
