Seems like it’s going to be many years before Objective-C is no longer viable, and there’s a lot of it to maintain (especially Apple’s). I think the only Swift-exclusive frameworks are SwiftUI, Combine, and WidgetKit.

It would be pretty crazy to learn only objective c today, unless you want to go after the legacy market specifically, like someone learning Cobol to get bank contracts.
Maybe it suits some people but for most people it’s sad and frustrating to work with old messy systems in obsolete languages when there’s a shiny new one that’s objectively much better in almost every way.
