Harsh words. I agree with the statement, but Rust is used not only for system programming and Haskell has its niche beyond university.

I think Swift is where .NET was in its first decade. While capable of so much more, it is limited by its designers and primary purpose so it cannot go beyond. The tight coupling to UI products is a burden an ecosystem carries. Java won in the backend not with is UI, JavaScript with node/npm before Angular reset the frontend and C# just when .NET Core pushed it into spaces it has not been before (apis, lambdas, etc).
