Abstract
Swift is an awesome language and works great by itself, but when you’re writing iOS or OSX applications, you have to interface with the frameworks that Apple provides and perhaps with your own existing frameworks. You may be able to rewrite your frameworks in Swift, but Apple hasn’t provided its frameworks in Swift yet, if it ever will. Apple does provide interoperability with existing frameworks that use the Objective-C and C APIs.
