If you like swift you should seriously give kotlin a go. Kotlin on the backend has a quite mature ecosystem (mostly because of its java heritage) and the language is a delight to work with.

^ this but also try out Rust. Swift and Rust have a lot of ideas in common but Rust has a better backend story for the foreseeable future. However I really can't speak more highly of Kotlin, it's the most productive language I have used in large part because of access to the massive JVM ecosystem but with a modern, highly expressive language with amazing tooling (IntelliJ, YourKit, lightRecorder) and excellent performance.

  Rust has a worse story in development happiness for the forseeable future as well compared to those languages.
