There is a huge potential here. The weakness, today at least, is that with Swift 2.0, there remain some difficulties in terms of being dependent upon reaching out to Objective C to accomplish some tasks. Looking at what is coming with Swift 3.0, and the work done on the Linux port, I think there is a clear roadmap that makes many of these issues go away, but right now, today, I think it is a tough sell into the edu market.
