  Despite being backed by Google, regardless of how 
  finished or unfinished Go was upon release, there 
  was no impending pressure that you would someday 
  more or less be forced to rewrite all your existing
  code in it. Thus the early adopter pros and cons 
  were pretty clear. This is not the case with Swift.
The way I look at this issue, is that for now Swift should only be used for pet projects and the like. Simple projects that help the developer gain experience with the language.
