Yeah. You can bind C in swift. You can expose C interfaces from Rust. Write non-iOS code in Rust, then bind. Now you have iOS support with common client code in Rust.

You can compile Rust to WASM. You can run Rust on the backend. It's gaining popularity on k8s for memory consumption. You can write music visualizers in Rust. You can pivot to killer drones or embedded in Rust. It has very few foot guns compared to C and all of the advantages of C.

The people who want Swift to succeed off of Apple hardware are basically waiting for someone else to do it. Rust users will just invade Apple from every side. It is very clear which platform is the better investment of anyone's time.

I can't believe I'm even wasting keystrokes thinking about this. I saw a bunch of upvotes and can only imagine this has to be wishful thinking from Swift users.
