Swift isn’t crossplatform by any stretch. Some people may have succeeded in building reusable swift code across different platforms, but that was by going through a lots of hops, and is barely documented (i’m talking for example building a lib working on both ios and android, which requires creating your own toolchain).
A recent post of the forum wanted to build a crossplatform working group, but as you can see in OP, it wasn’t met with a lot of enthusiasm by the core team.
Obviously, as long as apple is the only major corp behind swift, it isn’t going anywhere outside apple platforms.
The day rust reaches some kind of ergonomics acceptable to non-system programmers you can be sure swift will only be used for UIKit / Swift interfacing and that’s it.
