For me the most exciting thing about Swift is the recent rumour that Google are looking at adopting it as a first class language for Android.

If that happened, you'd finally have an open, fast, expressive, modern language that you could use on the server and on the fronted for iOS and Android. Couple that with Typescript & Aurelia for the web frontend and I'd be in programming nirvana.
