From the article "Swift is another excellent example of how fast development tools change. As soon as Apple released Swift, it was hard to justify writing code in Objective C anymore. I am sure there are some use cases where it is still needed. But Swift is significantly easier to develop and a major evolutionary step forward.
I would argue that any apps written in Objective C are probably technical debt now"
I switched to Swift a few years ago after many years of obj-c, at first I was reluctant as there were still many things I liked about obj-c but Swift won me over. Thought I would never touch obj-c much until I had to integrate a cpp library, I can't believe how much I forgot in such a short time. It was interesting to find out how to structure the obj-c code to translate nicely to swift though.
