New iOS language: Swift

I'm dumbstruck. Will I have to learn a whole new language? If so, when will Treehouse make a course for Swift?

it looks like Swift and Objective C can live right alongside each other in the same app. so technically no you wont have to learn it if you dont want to and continue to use objective C I guess. But you probably should learn it if you want to continue to develop for iOS

You need to first agree to the new terms, then you will see a bar that becomes available besides iOS 7 SDK which says iOS 8 beta. The download link for Xcode 6 is there.

Has anyone from outside the US been able to successfully install OS X Yosemite? I live in Mexico, and when I try to install it I get a message: The item you've requested is not currently available in the Mexican Store. Does anyone know when it might become available?
