Swift is a really cool, but in many ways more complementary to ObjC than a particularly great replacement for it. A lot of the things uniquely interesting about ObjC (truly seamless C/C++ interop, tiny lightweight runtime, learnable in an afternoon for C users) are explicit non-goals of Swift. So it’s not surprising that developers who found ObjC to be a good fit for their problems aren’t always finding Swift to be the right tool.
