You can use as much or as little Swift code in your iOS or OS X project as you like. Apple isnt forcing a march to Swift. No doubt many of the old guard will stick with Objective-C. But Swift will make it much easier for programmers steeped in other languages and traditions to pick up Xcode and quickly become productive. That alone is a big step forward for Apple and one that will probably lead to even more native iOS and OS X code than ever. Swift doesnt need to take over the world to be a gift to it. -Peter Wayner
