Swift is very weak outside Apple ecosystem, compared to Rust. Not sure nowadays, but Swift used to have breaking changes each major release, that's a non go for a big project.


But Swift has a stable ABI which neither Zig nor Rust could provide.


How important is stable ABI for projects like Bun? I think it only matters if you are building a shared library.


only on macOS. On other platforms ABI is not stable.
