If you start in Swift, at some point you're going to need to understand Objective-C whether you're using Cocoapods or reading questions on Stack Overflow.

Objective-C is a lot more verbose and Swift is a lot friendlier from a programming standpoint but Obj-C isn't going anywhere anytime soon so if you choose Swift, plan to get used to reading Obj-C.

That being said, I would choose Swift.
