That'a also Microsoft said about VB.NET when they introduced C# in early 2000. Now C# is a much more dominant language than VB.NET. It's a matter of adaptation . Something it take a long time. But seriously, how could Apple introduce a new programming language that would be possibly worse than objective-C to master? I don't think so if it's not light years better than OC. Perhaps better is a relative term, but from the syntax, new Swift definitely has a modern objective language feel, and should pose much less learning curve to newcomers. That's certainly a welcome sign.
Strangely I'm one of the people that loves the objc syntax. It's very verbose but that also makes it very simple to understand. Same goes for nested square brackets, they make it pretty simple to see how things are working. I'll definitely be trying Swift though.
