Swift? As an Android Developer I think it would not be a great idea. C# maybe a better language(wasn't that open sourced?). It much closer to java than swift is and would allow people like me to move cover over faster. I started off as a C# developer and had not done any real work in java before. I was able to move my C# code(couple thousand lines of code) over to Java in a matter of hours. Anyway I do not wish or hope for a language change period.

Given that you know C# and Java, you should not have a great deal of trouble learning other C-family languages, including Swift. Objective-C was/is a bit of an exception to this, as it's "funky" syntax could be a bit intimidating to developers coming from other languages - one of the motivations for Apple's switch to Swift was to address this.
