It appeals to the functional crowd; according to Apple's textbyte [here](http://www.apple.com/live/2015-june-event/eda6e3f7-0fda-4b46-b428-94b7ac62cdec/ http://www.apple.com/live/2015-june-event/eda6e3f7-0fda-4b46...), Swift 2 will have support for ObjC-style generics, pattern matching, and (presumably) an updated FFI for C.
