Why the downvote?

Maybe because neither the keynote not the state of union said swift is ready for production.
Do you see the videos? They expect to get apps made with swift on launch of iOS 8, and have rewrite at least the WWDC videos app as showcase.

P.D: This remark was about 32 min in the state of union video

The launch of iOS is several months in the future.

Swift, as XCode 6, is still beta.

Yep, but in terms of languages, that is around the corner!
No idea why someone would have downvoted you. Your post was the first one that has given me insight into what it's actually like to work with the language at this early stage.
grammar maybe?
