Huh? That was not what I witnessed at all. A lot of people were quick to adopt Swift when starting new projects, but still didn't replace Objective-C on the older ones. IMO it was one of the sanest language migrations I ever witnessed in this industry. (Java to Kotlin in Android also as nice and same, IMO)

Considering Apple still has a large Obj-C legacy, I doubt we'll see it deprecated any time soon. Carbon for example took almost 12 years to be removed!

I've seen plenty of people getting all upset that they think Swift 5.3 is still as broken as Swift 1 or 2 back when they last tried it. There are also those, some in this thread, who are proclaiming their high level language of choice as superior just because they're more familiar with it.
