Many cross platform native apps are built in C++. Until Swift does C++ interop well, it is unlikely they will be re-written in Swift. Facebook uses Objective C++ - you can mix Objective C and C++ in the same source and use C++ containers/STL on objective-C objects, etc. This is a massive convenience.
