He didn't condemn Kotlin and swift. He is saying that they aren't necessary and don't solve the original problem. That the constant search for a new framework or of language that will fix everything is a futile attempt to avoid learning how to more effectively code with the tools you already have.

You might never have the perfect tools that ensure 100% program correctness, but it's sure as hell what a tool-maker should aspire to.
