If one had done Ruby programming in its early days, he/she would come across an epiphany. I tried swift and the best part was the similarity to Ruby and the ease of use. Plus, loads of built in lib functions just make development easier. Added to that, the amazing lldb support for Swift is wonderful.
But what's not so great?? The fact that there will be two languages with greatly different syntaxes in the same file. It would just remind you of the initial days of iOS programmer's surge when many realised that Objective C file could also contain C code.
Some find this mixture of languages fun, and some would probably not feel the same.
If the acceptance is the same as it was for Objective C, maybe this is the Objective C 2.0 successor.
