I don't really care how Swift does or follow it, but it will be
competition for D, as it has generics, unlike Go, and doesn't
have Rust's unfamiliar syntax or stringent emphasis on memory
safety. It's an up-and-coming competitor for D people to watch
out for.
Given that .NET now is being available on UNIX, with .NET Native
support already announced at the recent Connect() event and
features from System C# (Midori OS) are planned to be made
available in C# 7.
As example of planned C# 7 features, that D already enjoys:
- ref types on local scope and as return values
- slices
- more are being evaluated
Similarly Java with the upcoming value types, new FFI and AOT
compiler on the reference JDK.
I would advise not to look only at Swift.
