Wouldn't it also need to be cross-platform in that case?
It's sad that Kotlin and Swift are so similar but not similar enough.
(Although I'd prefer a dynamic language to be the "next big language" - it seems the pendulum is currently swinging back towards static typing...)

I think I even prefer it to Rust for things like server applications. I think Swift may even be available on Windows now. But it's definitely available and rapidly maturing on Linux. And having struggled with large code bases in dynamic languages for years, I'm very happy that statically-typed languages are resurgent now.
