Does Swift really compete with those languages?
As I understand, it's pretty much just there so that people can write software for MacOS/iOS without needing to use Objective C.

A big thing Swift has over all these languages is that it's higher-level than Rust and Zig, but not garbage-collected unlike Scala, Kotlin, and Go. Personally, I would use it if it wasn't for its dependence on Apple and that I use IntelliJ and they are discontinuing AppCode.
