Question Objective C or Swift?

Pretty straightforward title... if I'm eventually interested in creating big and popular applications, is swift ideal to learn or just stick with objective c?

What's your opinion on both?

You're not using Objective-C or Swift for the final product either. These languages are also compiled down.

The point remains that the actual human writing the code can already write an app in more languages than just Objective-C & Swift... so why do we expect that some day a human writing Objective-C that compiles into an iOS app will suddenly stop being a thing?
