Well, swift-corelibs-foundation has made a lot of progress, and strictly speaking, to a certain point you don't actually want to hide some of the implementation details from the developer. This isn't Java - natively calling out to C is a thing that Swift can and will do.
Do tell. What other concerns do you have? You seem deeply misinformed. While Swift may not yet have an ecosystem outside of Apple, it is factually incorrect to say that it is not usable outside of it.
