Maybe C++ should copy some Swift, before attempting to challenge Rust.

It has already multiple times,

Managed C++, C++/CLI, C++/CX, C++ Builder, Unreal C++

But those aren't extensions or approaches WG21 cares about having.

The C++11 GC design didn't even took those experiences into consideration, thus it got zero adoption, and was dropped on C++20.
