It's based on Clang, right? At version 1.0, you can expect some stability, right? (I haven't been paying attention enough to know.) The people working on it are smart, right? (They are, and they're somewhat grizzled, extrapolating from the ones I know of.) I wouldn't worry about them pulling the language out from underneath you with backwards-incompatible changes -- the compiler crashing on valid code is annoying, and saying this from a no-longer-writing-iPhone-apps perspective, I think it's a big win over Objective C. So I'd go for it.
