Dear Apple,

Why should I be exited about an illegitmate child of Python, Go and
JavaScript?

Because it has curly brackets, no sane exception handling, and sucks less
than Objective-C? 

Because init is spelled without double underscores?

Because it faster than Python? Computers and smart phones are slow these
days. And I guess Swift makes my 3g connection faster.

It's ok to use in iOS apps. That would be it, I guess.
