The programming language eco system is really improving rapidly and efficiently. It seemed the developer&#x27;s toolkit was limited by the languages created 20+ years ago but within the last few years we&#x27;re seeing a renaissance in developer toolkits as well as development philosophies.<p>Languages like Go, Rust, and now Swift are not only great from almost every aspect over the last generation languages like C, C++, Java, but a lot noobs or scripting language developers are also converting to more low level languages. So the barrier to pick up a lower level language and become productive in it has really diminished.<p>Go has had a head start and introduced minimal simplicity. It&#x27;s a great&#x2F;powerful language and almost everybody can pick it up quickly within a few days. I wouldn&#x27;t listen to people who dismiss the language for its lack of &quot;features&quot; and have never written more than &quot;hello world&quot; in it.<p>Swift is &quot;important&quot; because of Apple &amp; iOS. It has a much steeper learning curve than Go and naturally it takes a few weeks of dedication to get comfortable with it. However, once you overcome the introductory challenge then you&#x27;ll start to appreciate the language and its capabilities.<p>Already the job market for both languages are really high with higher than average salaries. So learning&#x2F;mastering both Go and Swift is the best decision you can make.
