Swift is a new programming language. Does this implementation also use Metal? What is the Scene Kit relation to Metal?

SpriteKit and SceneKit is targeting casual games. Metal is an API that is close to GPU and is meant to replace OpenGL for console level games.
This only uses SpriteKit, for 2d graphics. SceneKit is for 3d stuff.
