In one sense the places where the Rust is wrong don't trouble me because I already know Rust well, but in the end they do trouble me because it seems reasonable to assume the Swift is equally wrong but I don't know where and how.

For example "In fact, Swift treats enums as more than just types and lets you put methods directly on it" seems to assume that "just types" don't have methods, which I guess is what you might assume coming from say, C++ but Rust isn't C++ and so of course all of its types, including not only user-defined enums, structures and indeed unions can have methods - but also the built-in primitive types all have methods too.

    'F'.to_digit(16).unwrap() // is the 32-bit unsigned integer constant 15

Or maybe an even closer to the metal example: Rust's pointer provenance APIs get to provide a method on raw pointers which takes a closure to do stuff like hide boolean flag bits at the bottom of an aligned pointer. The fact that you're ultimately going to lower to an XOR on a CPU address register doesn't mean you shouldn't get method syntax, it's the 21st century.
