It has been interesting seeing all these posts claiming Swift borrowed from _their_ language. Obviously there is a lot of feature influence between languages but it was interesting to see the ones he called out explicitly.

It's a bit of a Rorschach test, sometimes. People see what's familiar to them.

Great way of putting it. I see Ruby in it personally, and loads and loads of C#, but I have heard the Rust thing before from other people.

Personally, I see nothing from Rust in it (except what Rust took from other languages, like ML).
