>making sure to mention the terrible state the developer tools are at this point

Terrible compared to something like a mature IDE like Visual Studio or Eclipse and/or an established toolchain.

Because compared to what most newcomer/not top-10 languages have (languages like D, Racket, Haskell and beyond) it's extremely impressive, especially considering the language is so young.

No, I mean terrible compared to the Objective C/C/C++ Xcode toolchain, normally used where Swift may come in the picture. It needs at least one more year of development and design.
