Apparently you missed Swift.
Linux kernel adoption of Rust hasn't been a smooth ride, exactly because of its type system among C folks.
It is only happening because the likes of Google and Microsoft want to see it through.

Swift is not really for systems level programming like Rust and interestingly some projects like Ladybird have moved away from Swift towards Rust.

Apple seems to think differently.

Not really interesting after you spent some time tracking lifecycle of FOSS projects. I don't think it is a last "moving away" announcement we get from Ladybird.
It certainly is for Apple, regardless of your opinion.
It is all over the place in Swift documentation, WWDC sessions, and even last week on Meet the Team session, regarding on how to write safe systems programming code on Apple platforms.
Ladybird should focus on what language they actually want to deliver something.
