Swift is already way more popular than dart though.

But Swift doesn't run on Android, does it?

It does. It has been able to for some time now. A team I’ve worked with used it to build a cross-platform library. Swift wasn’t the first choice but the short story was they didn’t choose C++ because they didn’t want to hire C++ devs to maintain it.

If that library is open source I'd love to take a look at it.

Did the team look at Kotlin? Seems like Kotlin Native on iOS is a more viable alternative than Swift on Android right now for cross-platform development.
