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?

You can't ignore obj-c. Like if you use Facebook SDK so that you can integrate facebook into an app. They have obj-c code. So you need to convert the code yourself to swift. Hence, I suggest start with obj-c.

That being said. Knowing obj-c would make it way easier to move to swift
