I also agree with the author. I think Swift solves the problem of jailbreaking. If iOS were written entirely in Swift, there would be no jailbreak tweaks, because there is no method swizzling. I see Swift as an evolution of C++, similar to Java and C#. Plenty of people can program in Objective-C, but not many people actually understand it IMO. I think an expert Objective-C programmer can be more productive than an expert Swift programmer. But Swift is better for large teams of average, interchangeable programmers. I think those who say that are more productive in Swift were simply not very productive in Objective-C. People who are productive in Objective-C will despise having to work with another layer of abstraction that provides no benefit for them (it prevents bugs that they never created in the first place).
