I think Swift has been strangled, but I'm not convinced it's because of its governance structure (with Apple at the top). I get the impression that Swift is the world's best sandbox for programming language nerds to play in—and that Apple is woefully understaffing the team writing technical copy for the compiler (e.g. error messages), and the documentation. The rate at which the Swift language has changed just in the past 3 years feels as significant as the rate at which it changed between 2016, with the release of Swift 3, and 2022. I'm sure that people who are 100% all in on iOS development feel like the rate of change is delightful, but for the rest of us who have other responsibilities, it's exhausting and bewildering.
