You apparently aren't familiar with Swift at all. I'd recommend exploring more before answering.
Swift had Linux support since it open sourced 4 years ago. IBM, AWS, Google all have very performant server-side swift packages for manner of things from servers to protocols. Our company is using Swift for a Linux-only embedded environments.
If you think the future is dynamic, you're not regressing the past, or the trajectory of the future. Dynamic languages keep a compiler from understanding the code.
Compilers are just code optimization heuristics - like AI for developers. If you make a language and compiler that has a strong ontology for the intent of code (a type system), it can break code down into functional proofs, then understand how to optimize it and in ways that aren't possible in a dynamic language that breaks the chain of intent.
Julia is still pretty niche at this point, and just recently got tools as fundamental as a debugger.
