I'm trying to work out which one will have better for ML in a couple of years time.
I don’think rust has any specific features that target ML. Swift does, but it's Apple hardware only.
One of the things that I'm struggling with on Python is the very poor support for AMD GPU's, which are in Macs. I'm sure Swift will do a better job of using the hardware capabilities better.
Only old Macs have AMD GPUs.
If you’re looking for the best utilization of your hardware, I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple’s ML frameworks were best. Since Apple has a small set of hardware, they can write software that takes advantage of it better. Consider looking into Core ML which is by Apple and for Swift. Of course this will only work for Apple hardware, but if this is just for personal interest/hobby then that doesn’t really matter.
