There’s definitely areas where I agree Swift is more ergonomic.

Parameter defaults, and null short circuiting are two of them.

I find writing Swift is faster for me, and it’s easier to learn for people than Rust. Also Swift interop with other languages is much simpler.

Though there are way fewer resources to learn Swift, and cargo is superior to SPM. And of course rust is better cross platform today, but Swift is closing the gap.

I think they feel like very similar languages overall, and they both influence each other.
