Just out of curiosity: which do you think is closer to Python? Kotlin or Swift?

Not knowing wither, my hunch would be to say Kotlin. But I am curious.

Kotlin and Swift have similar syntax and neither are like Python to be honest. If I were to pick one, Kotlin all the way. You can do a fair amount of back-end work with itas well.

I've never used swift myself, but as far as I'm aware swift doesn't need to have a main function so I'd say it's closer

That's a weird way to compare them...

Sure, but how else should I compare a language I've never used to python?

Even in python, writing code at the top level is not recommended for any non-trivial project. I mean, you might as well say "kotlin is closer to python because they both end with N". Neither method of comparison offers any value to OP.

And I said, if op doesn't want to learn a new language, here are some python mobile frameworks. And was explicitly asked which of kotlin/swift I would recommend for a python dev.
