"Swift is an innovative new programming language for Cocoa and 
Cocoa Touch." and "Swift is a successor to the C and Objective-C 
languages. It includes low-level primitives such as types, flow 
control, and operators." Yes, that's low level!

Swift is Objective-C in a new dress, but not a system level 
programming language (and neither is Objective-C IMHO). It is an 
application level language for Cocoa frameworks.
