The majority of companies still have code bases with a ton of Objective-c code. The company I am currently working at has an approximately 30% Swift code and we have been writing Swift since 2.0 went live.<p>The reality is if you can&#x27;t be proficient with Objective-c no one will hire you at this point. The more time passes, the more Objective-c code will become legacy, and the less important this will be.<p>That being said definitely start with Swift. It is an excellent language and is the future of the iOS platform.
