Don't swift and rust share a few of these things that make it "feel right"? With rust the whole ecosystem thing seems to be a lot better. Also rust has C(++) interop (so you have every library you could wish for), does swift not have that?

It does have c interop so you could just use libarchive. Though writing c in swift is a bit less magical.

While technically true you then have to use pointers in swift and they made it hard by design to do that.

Last time I looked, Swift didn't have a stable way to export C-compatible ABIs.
