Swift's become so feature-heavy, and complex, whilst the documentation is all over the place. That's not even counting things like SwiftUI, or its rather arcane CLI tooling.
Out of curiosity, I put in more than 150 genuine hours in 2024, trying to get deeply into Swift - and eventually just abandoned the language.
In comparison - I got very far experimenting with Go in the same amount of time.
Unless one needs to get into the Mac ecosystem, I see no reason why learning Swift should be necessary at all.
