Genuinely curious because I don't know: when you group Swift with Rust here, do you mean in terms of memory safety guarantees or in the sense of being used for systems-level projects? I've always thought of Swift as having runtime safety (via ARC), not the same compile-time model as Rust, and mostly confined to Apple platforms.
I'm surprised to see them mentioned alongside each other, but I may very well be missing something basic.
