I used Swift in versions 1-4, so idk if it's better now, but the syntax seemed fancy and complicated for no reason. So many different ways to do simple things like loops. Infuriating strings lib. Kinda believe the entire language was designed around emojis. And Xcode was a liability.

Rust is more complicated than C but has good reasons for everything it does. It's lower level too, which is fine. If I want high level, I look to JS and not Swift.
