I am only vaguely familiar with Rust ownership model and last I programmed Swift was version 3.x.

Does anyone have any thoughts on where Swift is going with ownership models in relation to Rust? What sort of different priorities will these languages set?

It has been my impression that Rust seeks to be more of a tool for the more experienced programmer while Swift attempts to be more user friendly or appeal more to the average programmer.

I would thus speculate that Swift team will never try to force Swift users to understand ownership models the way Rust developers have to. What do you think? Where can we expect this to be going?
