Don't swift and rust share a few of these things that make it "feel right"? With rust the whole ecosystem thing seems to be a lot better. Also rust has C(++) interop (so you have every library you could wish for), does swift not have that?

It does have c interop so you could just use libarchive. Though writing c in swift is a bit less magical.

    @_cdecl exists, although it's underscored.

      I was under the impression that this feature wasn't stable, but it's been years since I've thought about it.

  While technically true you then have to use pointers in swift and they made it hard by design to do that.
