Swift uses garbage collection (I know, arc, but that's still garbage collection), so it more or less is in the same category as Go. And I don't see people choosing Swift over Go any time soon.

C++ and Rust are a different thing.

That’s simply not true, starting with ARC being compile-time and GC being run-time.

		Reference counting very much incurs a runtime cost; it's not just a compile time abstraction, like borrow-checking in Rust.
