Well, for starters I would avoid languages tied to specific proprietary
platforms like Swift, even when their implementation is free, and those
languages whose official implementations have some proprietary parts
(like D, whose backend for DMD is nonfree), because that shows just a
plain disregard for the community, if anything.
