curious, does Swift potentially fill this gap for you?

Yes, Swift is very close. I know I'm moving the goal posts here, but...

My personal itches are usually web projects. Once Swift gets async/await and Vapor|Kitura switch to it, I'll probably jump to Swift. I really dislike dealing with futures/promises. The Swift web frameworks also don't generate standalone binaries like Go/Rust do...the tend to push you to cloud/docker solutions. Swift is still pretty Apple platform centric, but that feels like it's changing even now.
