I favored Swift over Go in a small project (developed in my freetime) because it has template / metaprogramming support, and it calls destructors inmediately on unreferenced objects.
Some things that can be improved:
* It needs more support / packages for Linux (and Windows maybe?). I was using Manjaro Linux, and around November 2016 (dont remember exactly), the existing packages in the AUR didnt work anymore.
* No built-in weak collections.
* No source subfolders for the same project when using the buit-in package manager (I dont know about Go in this matter).
