I am curious to see if Microsoft is going to support it in their iOS bridge for Windows.

I see Swift more as a way to bring FP concepts to the masses via the desire to target iOS/AppStore.

Personally I am already sold to other ML influenced languages.

I hope so since the goal of the iOS bridge is to get as many iOS applications on Windows as possible. Maybe after (or in conjunction with) Swift 3.0.

Don't see it on their roadmap: https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/wiki/Roadmap

But there's an open issue for it so that's promising: https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC/issues/25
