Swift "feels" like C#. A lot of systems programming is done in C#.

Depending on your goals, it's worth giving C# a test-drive given Swift's similarity to C#.

Traditionally I would say it feels more like Ada, Modula-2, Object Pascal.

Finally catching up with what we already had in the 1990's and lost, in a couple of decades split between C, C++ and VM based languages.
