I've read this post. I would still recommend that you jump straight into Swift. Objective-C has its own set of quirks and pain points. If I was starting over, I would go straight to Swift. It's an altogether nicer and more consistent language.

I posted the link because Aaron is an important voice in Mac/iOS development, but I personally lean more towards your point-of-view.

If one is starting out today, I'd highly recommend digging into swift immediately.
