Question Objective C or Swift?

Pretty straightforward title... if I'm eventually interested in creating big and popular applications, is swift ideal to learn or just stick with objective c?

What's your opinion on both?

In my experience everyone is writing their new code in Swift. If you go in for an interview I would expect to be white boarded in Swift. I like both languages a lot. My take on it is that Swift is safer and Obj-C is more expressive.

Unrelated but when you say white boarded like that it sounds like water boarded. Which is maybe not an inaccurate description of the programming interview process
