Swift changes are harmful if you are building a product with a budget.
I don't have any problem with the fact Swift is churning. I think its healthy for the language to be improved. I think it's great that there is so much open source activity and enthusiasm around it.
But I also think Apple have been premature about pushing it for sample code and WWDC talks. And some companies have adopted it too early given their resources, constraints and objectives.
Yes it's a lot of fun from an engineering perspective to be on that bleeding edge. It's not so much fun when your boss/client/own business has a tight deadline to ship something, but then you have the extra work to migrate your code to the latest Swift changes.
edits: fixed a couple of typos.
