The shocking thing I think isn't how fast Swift has grown, but how fast Objective-C has fallen. The stats from that site don't appear to show that Swift has made up for that.
The overall combination of Swift and Objective-C in those numbers make me believe Apple's decision to make Swift open source is less about goodwill, and more about stopping the bleeding.
