Introducing the IBM Swift Sandbox

Have you tried kotlin? It is developed by jetbrains, works in the JVM and you can mix java code and kotlin code in the same project. It is still in beta but it has been developed for more years than swift and both look quite similar. Jet brains said they wanted to release the version 1.0 the the end of this year... Plus it is fully integrated in intelliJ idea

They're approximately the same age, but regardless, it shouldn't factor into your decision.

Better than Kotlin is Eclipse Xtend aka Swift for Android, which compiles to Java: http://xtend-lang.org
