To those holding out on Swift: Apple is not the type of company to have two official languages. If Swift succeeds, Objective-C will go away.
-
Running Swift migrators is disruptive, but consider the day, far in the future, when you rewrite all your Objective-C in Swift, by hand.
Every new line of Objective-C you write today is technical debt in a Swift world.

@sandofsky@istx25 I just wrote like 50.... -
@caamorales@sandofsky Learn Swift. You will not regret it. -
@istx25@sandofsky I've been playing around and event built some (Personal) Apps on Swift but this is a customers App so it must be ObjC. - View other replies

@caamorales@sandofsky We write all of our client projects in Swift at @cosmiclabsio. Adopting new technology is always rewarding. :-) - View other replies

@istx25 I'm just afraid that by the time I deliver the App it won't compile b/c of language changes, my plan is to switch next year. -
@caamorales We update to the latest version of Xcode every time a new one drops and fixes the changes on the spot using the migrator tools.

@sandofsky@schukin all code is technical debt :) -
-
@sandofsky@pburford Hate to say it, but every new line of any code you write today is technical debt… -
@danielctull@sandofsky There are of course varying degrees of debt, Objective C will get more and more costly over time.

.
@sandofsky every new line of Swift code is technical debt too; no guarantee it will compile in vNext or need to be rewritten (eg throws). -
@sandofsky that's some ridiculous logic -
@sandofsky@iosaaron Every new line of Swift you write today is a technical debt in Swift 2.1 and above world. -
@sandofsky you’re totally over exaggerating. They coexist well, likely even better in future. -
@sandofsky@iosaaron I even have some Swift 1.0 code that I wrote months ago and didn't maintain. This logic doesn't always work that way.
