It seems odd to compare to dart with rust. That's like comparing C# or Java to rust. They aren't really competing in the same sphere. Swift seems heavily inspired by dart (dart being the older of the two). If you remove things like reference counting that were added because of interopt with objective-C, then the similarities between the languages greatly outweigh the differences (in my view at least).
