Coming from web development (Rails), I started learning Swift this August with no previous background in Objective-C. I've found it to be fairly straightforward to pick up. I learned the basics in about a month and am approaching release of a production level app within the next month or so. I have never tried Android dev though, so I can't compare to that.
