Playgrounds would definitely be great to have someone get straight into it. I found this great repo on github that contains some cool playgrounds to mess around with too. https://github.com/danielpi/Swift-Playgrounds > IBM is doing some great work with a Swift REPL in the browser.

I’m also an instructor using Swift for intro to programming. If you've taught a class with it already, do you mind telling us how that's being going? Anything you've learned that you want to apply to future classes?
