And then you’re stuck with a proprietary language “subscribe to download”? Not sure it’s the least amount of effort honestly.
It's only closed-source for now, with plans to open-source the language when it's more finalized - similar to LLVM early on. Not sure if it says so explicitly on their website somewhere, but Chris Lattner has stated that several times

I thought Sway was based on i3, which is an arbitrary-width tree that can have different display modes per container node in the tree.
Hyperland's wiki only lists "Dwindle" and "Master" layouts, which from the description are strictly less versatile than i3 (and Sway?) in exchange for convenience if those layouts are what you want. Does it even have something as flexible as i3? (and Sway?)
I use the dwindle layout which is similar to bspwm in automatic splitting mode. One advantage is you can drag and drop windows into other nodes, which will be split appropriately, it's surprisingly neat when you have a lot of stuff open. It's easiest to get a feel for the differences by just trying it out or watching some videos of it on r/unixporn

While the people I talk with are not high profile evangelists, all of them are using Rust in their professional life for work.
Maybe the messaging should be clear, and hype should be better controlled from top to bottom, because I never talked with anyone who doesn't casts stones to C & C++ and badmouths it while saying that Rust is the one, and only, and the last savior we need.
BTW, I'm not against Rust, but I don't use LLVM. I'm waiting gccrs to dive into the language.
I'm curious, why not use LLVM?
The M1 (laptops) do emulate x86, and the M1 (chip) has a few x86 specific instructions to improve emulation performance
It sure looks like they only turned it into a new language because they wanted to add static typing and immutable references, which maybe you care about and maybe you don't.
In that light it's hard for me to appreciate the development direction they've gone in.
