Surprised noone mentions Kotlin. It&#x27;s quite Swift-like, backed by JetBrains (Android Studio is based on their IntelliJ Idea), and 1.0 has only just been released. It has full interoperability with Java.<p>Given the above, I don&#x27;t see much point in using Swift, unless it&#x27;s one of these projects that are about proving a point (nothing wrong with that and often very interesting).
