I love this. Btw, totally off topic : Is it possible to write iOS/OSX apps by learning Swift without the knowledge of ObjC ? My background : I know some Java/Ruby and do some Android apps.

It is, but you'll still need to learn about the memory management in objective-C (retain / release and such, although that's been made a lot easier over the years, pushing it back to being background knowledge) and - perhaps more importantly than the actual language - the frameworks, environment and tooling (Foundation, UIKit, iOS application basics / lifecycle, view hierarchy, XCode, Interface Builder, and background knowledge like accessibility and such). But yeah, go with Swift, it's closer to Java than Objective-C is.
