IMO (as someone who has written plenty of Swift and Rust) Rust is in category of its own here. It's a fantastic language and I love working with it... but it has a mental overhead in dealing with ownership, borrow checking etc that other languages don't.
It's amazing in situations where performance is critical, or where you have constrained resources. But I'd much rather use Swift in other situations.
