Doesn’t sound like a bad thing to evaluate the most obvious alternative to build confidence before officially pulling the plug.

The most obvious alternative would be Zig. I don't see any Swift adoption outside the Apple ecosystem.

The key requirement is memory safety, which would rule out Zig.

Last time I checked, Zig was breaking it's stdlib, so it's not an alternative imo
