I was playing with it a bit this morning porting a helper XML parsing class[0] I have over to it and building a simple RSS Reader project.
I'm one of those people that really likes objective-c but I was surprised that when I had to go back to working in objective-c this afternoon I started to realise how much time Swift would save me. I feel like at a glance it's harder to understand the code but it requires way fewer keystrokes and overtime will probably become much easier to understand at a glance.
Overall I really like it. I'll have to write a lot more code in it first but I could see myself switching to this for all my iOS code when iOS 8 is released.
