I highly doubt that actually. Swift is not a replacement. There will always be glue between Swift and platform and system APIs. Swift only interoperates with Objective-C and (to a limited extent) C and not C++ (and a lot of APIs in Apple world are exposed as C++ especially on the Mac). Swift uses ObjC blocks and can't even handle function pointers. Unless there is a dramatic shift in the design of Swift, I don't see the writing on the wall that Swift is out to kill Objective-C, only complement it.
