It is the easiest language to learn along with Kotlin!
Swift is a good move for Apple; it makes developing for iOS more attractive. And because Swift, like Objective-C, is only relevant within the Apple ecosystem it encourages developers to commit exclusively to Apple and neglect other platforms. This is clearly a good outcome for Apple, but it’s a bad outcome for developers wanting to engage as many people as possible. source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gabe-sumner/why-most-developers-shoul_b_5454013.html
