Since Swift is new, it's been designed to handle the "problems" you get with Objective-C's fully dynamic nature. Also, there's only so much you can modify Objective-C before it's no longer a superset of C. You might have heard the reason the caret character was used for blocks is due to it being the only non-ambiguous character that could be used.
Besides, in Swift, we can now have variable names in Klingon script! Well, when Klingon is finally added to Unicode, that is.
