So Swift offers refinements (not a paradigm shift like object orientation over functional), many of which could be added to ObjC, and many of which I wouldn’t want. I guess I was trying to find the main, overwhelming purpose driving the adoption of Swift. I think I was looking too high.
Watch the talk on protocol-oriented programming (https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2015/?id=408).
And remember, you an do object-oriented programming in C. There's nothing magical about a language that makes it OO or prevents OO. But the language can certainly make it easier or harder to do.
What I think Swift gives, more than any of the other options we have, is program correctness. I've only scratched the surface with Swift, and there are things about Obj-C I miss (well, one thing), but I'm quickly coming 'round to the idea that Swift is better (than other languages).
