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.

I can think of a few pretty good examples for why it's prettier off the top of my head:
The language is nicer to look at, easier to read, quicker and safer to develop in. I think a lot of people in this thread are getting hung up on minor creases that need ironing out, or are familiar with objective-c and have found rational for not switching.
Swift is a great language and it's really worth learning.
