"Swift is too complex now" has seemed to have achieved meme status of late but I don't see it. For the average developer, writing modern Swift is generally not any more difficult than it was several years ago (much more often it's easier), it's just that the language can do a lot more now. But you only need to learn those new parts if you're using them. If you're not writing low-level or special-purpose code, you don't need to learn about more recently added things like move-only types, the embedded subset, varadic generics, or macros, etc, etc. And if you are writing things that require those features, you often couldn't have even considered Swift for that purpose before they were added.
