Not to mention, Swift the language itself, which is basically Rust with arguably an easier memory management model (all ARC) and Scala-like pragmatism (an OOP model built-in). Coming from ObjC, developers are showing a high level of interest in Swift. I might look it up when it comes out for Linux!

I have carefully compared the two languages and I do not see more similarity than between Go and Swift or any other language. You have yourself cited the different memory management models, and this is the main characteristic of Rust. The sole common feature is the use of LLVM.
