Interesting to see the migration process of an app from Objective C to Swift. I didn't know that an app can include both codebases at once.

It was covered in the main WWDC video. There's an Apple iBook. You can find the book on Apple's site.

I'm interested to see what Swift adoption will look like in the App Store going forward (now that it's at 1.0 [1]) especially on iOS vs. OS X. I wonder if it will be a glacial Carbon -> Cocoa style shift, or move faster thanks to the now-much-larger install base.

Swift is going to gain quick adoption. Why wouldn't developers move to a more modern language? The fact that you can easily integrate Swift with ObjC means it's easy to start. All the pre-release blogging is a good sign. I've gathered almost 100 links. I've got more that I'll add after my vacation. http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift.html

I looked into Objective C a bit last year but couldn't wrap my head around a lot of conventions. Swift on the other hand I'm looking forward to. That tutorial looks like it'll help :)
