It's more a matter of what language you're comfortable in.

An analogy: I'm playing with Opal (Ruby in the browser) right now and am greatly impressed. Sure, I know JavaScript - I just don't like it. I write in it regularly and still make howlers every time I do.

I'm more productive in Ruby, and that's where Opal scores for me. In this case I'm sure there are people who are more productive in JavaScript than Swift... even though the notion of anyone being productive in JS boggles me personally.
