Evaluation of Swift's Production Readiness

Ash Furrow is a Canadian iOS developer and author, currently working at Artsy (https://www.artsy.net/). He has published four books, built many apps, and is a contributor to the open source community. On his blog, he writes about a range of topics, from interesting programming to explorations of analogue film photography. He will use his recent real-world experience with Swift as a case study in an evaluation of Swift's production readiness. Take advantage of the lessons he learned to make the best decisions about Swift in your project.
