I find myself in the same boat. I've programmed in Objective-C since 1995 on NeXTSTEP. I love Objective-C, but realize it has quite a lot of warts. My problem with Swift is my feeling that the people who developed it don't like Objective-C. It really feels like the Java direction Apple tried to take in the late 1990s. You can argue Nil messaging but its part of the landscape. Plus, I really find weird way they adapted message passing to the C++/Javascript like syntax. A simple obj.(selector: value selector2:value) would have made it much easier to go back and forth. This is mismatch affects things. Never mind the added punctuation that need not be there. I should be much more productive, but I'm not and that sucks.
