> Isn't the fact that the platform vendor very clearly promotes Swift

No, the platform vendor promotes a lot of shit.

I remember when they were heavily pushing Objective-C Garbage Collection. The fools who adopted it got burned when Apple removed GC entirely, killing their apps. I'm not suggesting that Apple will remove Swift, but it's a mistake to listen to Apple's hype and what Apple says. Their PR is not trustworthy. Make your own decisions.

Shit or not, if new APIs require swift, it’s more of a practical question than an ideological one.
