They aren't really competitors to each other, so it depends much more on the type of applications you'd prefer to write. Swift is not a good choice for backend applications for obvious reasons, and nor would it be a good choice for writing desktop applications. Rust is not suitable for iOS, very appealing for desktop applications, less so for higher level server side code where the JVM seems to shine.

Scala would be the best bet on that front. There's no shortage of mobile developer jobs, so sure stick with Swift.
