Did you just read the first half of the article?

The rest of it is the main point.

Given that it's likely to be very very popular, and nobody can claim to be an expert, you can be one of the most knowledgeable people in the world about it by getting in now. Want to be the author of a very popular framework in a very popular language? Write a framework now in Swift.

These are exceedingly poor motives.

Write a framework in Swift if the abstractions it introduces are considerably better and more conceptually complete than the existing tools.

Otherwise you're not really improving things, just piling on more crap for people to learn.
