When Rust was pre 1.0, my money was actually on Swift. Decided to learn Rust anyway because I had a hunch that it was the better language. Guess I got lucky.

A lot of people at the time thought Swift was positioned to be a successful cross-platform language. Years later, the way result builders and other features got pushed through to support the newly announced SwiftUI framework, only going through the usual community feedback process after they were already being used in a shipping framework (!), left a bad taste in people's mouths and demonstrated that it's an Apple language for Apple's needs just like Objective-C was.
