Swift externals

[JB]

It sounds like Apples new programming language
Swift is going to be used in LiveCode.  Swift looks
similar to a scripting language.

Does anyone know when the official release of Swift
is and will it be possible to incorporate it into older
versions like Revolution?  It looks like Swift would be
a good way to write externals instead of Xcode 2.4
which is outdated.
