Swift has so many issues they would honestly be better off just moving to Rust rather than fix Swift. Seriously. The fact that it's so easy to get the compiler to spend exponential time resolving types that it very often just shits the bed and begs you to rewrite your code for it to stand a chance is shameful coming from, as you say, a $4T company. Points to deep problems with Swift.

I fully, totally agree with this. The recent fixes for concurrency makes Swift look like a poor man’s Rust anyway.
