Hello, While I do not have time to go over the whole video, surely you could have come up with much more serious reasons why Swift might be preferable to Objective C than "uhm, it has no namespaces and looks strange". Also, there were no reasons why "not to use Swift [yet]", making sure to mention the terrible state the developer tools are at this point, as well as many many missing language features and other quirks which make it a language not yet ready, in my experienced opinion, for large projects, or when some C/C++ operability is required. Have fun coding and making tutorials!

>making sure to mention the terrible state the developer tools are at this point Terrible compared to something like a mature IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse and/or an established toolchain. Because compared to what most newcomer/not top-10 languages have (languages like D, Racket, Haskell and beyond) it's extremely impressive, especially considering the language is so young.

  No, I mean terrible compared to the Objective C/C/C++ Xcode toolchain, normally used where Swift may come in the picture. It needs at least one more year of development and design.
