Everything you saîd about swift is correct for small sized projects. The story becomes much much different once you work on a piece of code for a few months with a team. Then xcode crashes, swift builds slowly ( in minutes), you start to be crippled because of the compiler and tool.
I hate to say it, but It's not production ready yet, at least not for a big project.
