I absolutely love Swift. I find it to be such an elegant language. I've done a few macOS/iOS apps with it over the years, but have really come to love it on the server. There are a couple of areas I feel could use some improvement with respect to cross-platform support, but overall the use of frameworks like Vapor have been a breeze to work with.

More support for language interoperability like this will just enhance the cross-platform experience. The Java ecosystem is what makes it so attractive to enterprises. Swift being able to easily take advantage of open-source C/C++ libraries will help with the migration.
