I don't consider Java and C# real competitors to Swift or D, as they're much older and won't attract the same users. Certainly not Java, with how verbose it is, haven't looked at C# too much. But for those with legacy codebases, those moves towards AoT compilation will certainly help keep those languages relevant, so good for them.
Much older? c# is only one year older than D. One might argue that D1 doesn't count, but c# has also received various improvements over the years, and is currently at version 6.
