If you already know Objc then you have no real reason to learn swift because the language is still pretty early on in its development so there are problems like big syntax changes every year, slow build times in Xcode, no stable ABI, etc.
However, the "swift community" or whatever is pretty large/active and the language itself has many nice characteristics (eg optionals, easy to read syntax, type inference) that make it ideal for babby's first app or babby's first programming language.

If you need to ask whether you should use Objc or swift then you should use swift.
If you want to get a job as an iOS/OSX developer then you should learn both, but Objc would be much more important at this stage.

Also, disregard any opinion that lists being able to use emojis in your code as a con.

It's by far the worst language I ever used.
A String.replace is called String.replaceOccurrencesOfString.
When they switched from 2 to 3 EVERYTHING broke,
Its a clumsy language for faggots

Do you want easy $100k+ salary? Then learn it. Company I work for has positions open right now for Swift devs. It's hard to find people and salaries are high.

It's basically Rust but not retarded.
