Swift Description
Swift code is interactive and fun to write. The syntax is concise and expressive, and Swift has modern features developers love. Swift code is safe and produces software that runs lightning fast. Swift is the result years of experience building Apple platforms and the most recent research on programming languages. Swift's APIs are easy to understand and maintain because the names of parameters are written in a simple syntax. You don't even have to use semi-colons. Modules eliminate headers and provide namespaces, while inferred types make code more readable and less likely to be misinterpreted. Strings support international languages and emoji best. They are Unicode-correct and use UTF-8-based encoding to maximize performance for a wide range of use cases. Concurrent code can be written with simple keywords that define asynchronous behavior. This makes your code easier to read and less likely to make errors.
Swift Alternatives
SwiftUI
SwiftUI lets you create beautiful apps for all Apple platforms using Swift and surprisingly little code. With just one set tools and APIs, you can deliver even better experiences on any Apple device.
Expanded animation support allows you to create sophisticated animations. Use phases to create animation sequences or multiple animation tracks by using keyframes. SwiftUI transfers the velocity of user gestures to your animations, so your app feels natural and fluid.

AppleScript
AppleScript is Apple's scripting language. AppleScript allows users to control scriptable Macintosh apps, as well parts of macOS. You can create scripts and written instructions to automate repetitive tasks and combine features of multiple scriptable applications. AppleScript 2.0 supports scripts created for AppleScript versions 1.1 to 1.10.7. It also supports scripting extensions for AppleScript 1.5 and later for macOS. A scriptable application can be controlled with a script. AppleScript is able to respond to messages sent between applications, called Apple Events, when a script command targets an application. AppleScript has a limited set of commands. However, it provides a framework that you can use to plug in many other commands, such as those provided by scriptable macOS parts and scriptable applications.

Objective-C
Objective-C is the primary programming language that you use to create software for iOS and OS X. It's a superset the C programming language, and provides object-oriented capabilities as well as a dynamic runtime. Objective-C inherits C's syntax, primitive types and flow control statements. It also adds syntax for creating classes and methods. It adds language-level support to object graph management and object literals. Additionally, dynamic typing and binding are provided. Many responsibilities are deferred until runtime. You will spend most of your time building apps for iOS or OS X using objects. These objects are Objective-C classes that you can create yourself or Cocoa Touch.

Zig
Zig is a general purpose programming language and toolchain that allows you to maintain robust, optimal, and reusable software.
Instead of worrying about your programming language knowledge, focus on debugging the application.
A new approach to metaprogramming that relies on compile-time execution and lazy evaluation
No hidden control flow.
There are no hidden memory allocations.
No preprocessor, no macros.
Any function can be called at compile-time
You can manipulate types as values with no runtime overhead.
Comptime imitates the target architecture.
Zig is a zero-dependency drop-in C/C++ compiler, which supports cross-compilation right out-of the box.
Use zig build to ensure consistency across platforms.
You can add a Zig compilation unit into C/C++ projects. Cross-language LTO is automatically enabled.
