I've working in C# for eight years before switching to iOS. To me, Swift and C# similarity ends with use of curly braces. C# is, in essence, better Java. Much, much better Java. Swift is a different language, it implements some new ideas (much more advanced type inference) and forces the programmer to thinks in a different way (by trying to eliminate nullability). Swift is not a perfect language (my biggest gripe is very awkward generics implementation), but it is a good language, and it's getting better. Saying that it's "a shit language currently on the spot just because Apple" isn't fair, I think.
