I can't help but get the feeling that plan with Swift is to be the only language you can effectively use for Apple platforms, but also is probably going to be the language that will only be used on Apple platforms because of Apple's whims like the function builders.

Realistically if choosing between C++, Rust, Go and Swift for things that are not highly performance sensitive I would happily go with Swift.
