				It seems pretty useless. Its overly simplistic and easily replacable with other programming languages like Java.

 Particularly swift 4.
 
 I was able to build something useful in one day.
 
 I touched objective c only a little before and I found it to complicated to build some prototype fast.
 
 Looks like javascript, kotlin, python.
 
 I will be doing kotlin android app next so I can compare both.
 
 I am programming in python for a living.

				For a starter Swift is much easier to read and learn than Objective-C
 
 It is fast enough but the only good use for is iOS and macOS apps, I never found a reason why it needs to replace for example, C#, Java ...etc. for web services
 
 Last but not least, I wouldn't want to put myself under Apple's mercy they tend to force everyone to play by their rules. So Swift goes only for iOS and macOS but other than that I want my freedom doing whatever I want (for example i++ is lame, but i += 1 is the new trend according to Apple, I don't want to find them replacing stuff just because they are old C style)

				@rEaL-jAsE Its more of a personal opinion. I like more low level programming languages

 I would suggest to overcome this reaction and actually check it out a bit before you form your opinion
