Swift is nice although it doesn’t have any advantages for someone who knows objc...

Swift is the exact opposite of Javascript and if used correctly created much higher quality code than a Objective C. But the toolchain is weak and XCode 9 is a big step backwards.

No advantages? Conciseness, null safety, no header files, cleaner syntax, no @property (readonly, getter=blah) nonsense.

Why bother? Swift is the blessed language on Apple platforms going forward and ObjC is not.

It's simple. Swift is a million times better. It's just that people are lazy.
