Like any new development language, Swift has its own set of challenges and gaps but at the same time has its own set of advantages too. Still, Swift is being accepted widely and rapidly. This is shown by some surveys that are conducted by independent bodies.
Definitely, it will have its own rise and falls on various parameters like performance, popularity, and usage, etc but the bottom line is that SWIFT is from Apple and Apple is determined to back it up and take it to the level where it is recognized and accepted as a mature, reliable and stable platform for the new generation applications.
Inventing a new programming language is something very few companies can do and we believe it will have a profound effect on our ecosystem.

Apart from the developer community, Swift has been radically accepted as part of its learning programs by many international universities and technical schools. Some of these include Germany's the Technical University of Munich to Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico, Ingésup in France, Aberystwyth University and Plymouth University in Great Britain, and RMIT University in Australia.
A variety of international universities and technical schools are already incorporating Swift into their courses.
