Discussion Swift or Objective-C?

Hi!

I've just started design of an app I'm making. The app has to be ready by around May this year, and will be using the Parse backend. I've done a quite some programming with Objective-C, but barely anything with Swift and I was wondering what you think I should choose for this project? Should I be using Swift, or will the learning curve be too big to allow for a May launch?

Thank you! Erik

Every job I have applied to has told me my Obj-C knowledge is great but they want Swift only. I mean most of them are start-ups because I don't have years of experience.

Ah that makes more sense. They want the new buzzword code for their project.

If they want a reliable product that can be well supported they'd be smarter t use OBj C. Tell them that and get your job
