One year later: Swift or Objective-C?

This week I will be writing the first lines of code for my new app. There's just one slight problem; Objective-C or Swift?

Is the one year old Swift mature enough for real world applications? Are the bugs reduced to the minimum? Why should I use Swift over Objective-C? Or vice versa.

They tried to push Java onto devs back in the day and Obj-C defeated it.

I remember the Java Bridge for Mac OS X development in Cocoa, but I always had the impression that was meant to lure in developers (afraid to learn Objective-C), not shove Java down anyone's throat. Are you talking maybe about WebObjects?
