I've just started looking at swift since it was launched, and making really good progress so far. Having coded in Ruby, C#, C++, and C, I really enjoy and "get" swift as it's leveraging the strength from all these languages.

I also find it pretty easy to convert Objective C code (from tutorials/StackOverflow) to swift, in particular with the help of auto-completion. So in my opinion (from someone who just started, so take with a grain of salt), I would definitely suggest Swift
