Questionable. I would describe Swift as 'move fast' too, judging by the fact there is breaking changes [1] every release.

That's not uncommon for new languages. Swift is definitely not in the "move fast" column, even taking that into consideration.

Less than 4 years to become the dominant language for iOS development, thats pretty fast.

When you have a company like Apple backing it - anything can become dominant (at least till now).
