Android developers.
20% mobile developers use
Swift, which is a remarkable
number for a new language.
Since Apple clearly stated
that the language was the
future for their platforms, the
result was obvious. Although
Objective C will be around for
a long time, learning Swift
should not be taken lightly for
iOS developers.
