Rust doesn't automatically add memory safety to all existing C code, which will need to be maintained for decades, Fil-C nearly does and its still early days.

I don't get the impression the Swift team is especially interested in use cases outside of OS X and iOS. (The context here is Debian.)

There seems to be a push to get Swift outside of just Apples platforms, namely Linux and Android support and backend micro service developnent.
