What to learn next, Swift or Rust (lemmy.world)

I’ve been programming for decades, though usually for myself, not as a profession. My current go-to language is Python, but I’m thinking of learning either Swift (I’m currently on the Apple ecosystem), or Rust. Which one do you think will be the best in terms of machine learning support in a couple of years and how easy is it to build MacOS/ iOS apps on Rust?

Swift only treats Apple OSes as first class citizens - even though technically you can use it on other platforms it's a painful and limited experience.
