Is Swift better than C++?

The question is about Swift

Answer:

Swift and C++ differ in their intended uses, each having its strengths relative to the use case. Generally, Swift is more suitable for developing applications on Apple platforms because of its modern syntax, much stronger safety features, and ease of use when building iOS and macOS applications. In Swift, memory management is automatically handled by high-performance, compile-time compiler optimizations. This makes development far easier and less error-prone. But C++ serves better for cross-platform developments and wins at high-load performance tasks, such as game engines or system programming. While Swift’s performance was optimized for Apple’s ecosystem, C++ gives more low-level control and is therefore suitable for applications requiring deep hardware interaction or heavy computations.
