For me the most exciting thing about Swift is the recent rumour that Google are looking at adopting it as a first class language for Android.<p>If that happened, you&#x27;d finally have an open, fast, expressive, modern language that you could use on the server and on the fronted for iOS and Android. Couple that with Typescript &amp; Aurelia for the web frontend and I&#x27;d be in programming nirvana.
