Hi Johannes,

They seem to experience huge difference in speed comparing Obj-C / C to Swift.
The same guys write also:

   For example, we don’t use – *surprise!* – Automatic Reference
   Counting at Splasm <http://splasm.com> because, frankly, it’s around
   40% slower in some cases, so we’ll leave ARC off and take that 40%
back (and we enjoy manual memory management, thank you very much). Other teams wouldn’t give up ARC even if paint dried faster. Did I
   say ‘if’?  Different teams.  Different values.


To each is own then, the best we can do is provide choice. I do code Objective-C 1.0 with manual memory management (wlthough I wouldn't say I "enjoy" it).
Others want it differently....

the best thing I can hope is that the existence of Swift doesn't need changes in core. The ideal scenario is where Obj-c 1/2, Swift and other languages can coexist... Java faded away seemigly and instead of Swift I'd prefer SmallTalk...
