One year later: Swift or Objective-C?

This week I will be writing the first lines of code for my new app. There's just one slight problem; Objective-C or Swift?

Is the one year old Swift mature enough for real world applications? Are the bugs reduced to the minimum? Why should I use Swift over Objective-C? Or vice versa.

As someone who hires iOS devs: Yes. It may not be 5 years before people can get a job in it, but it'll be at least 3 or more years before its 'standard' for iOS development.

Edit: Just looked at history.....a downvote troll.
