Good news! Can't wait to use it myself

It could be interesting once it's stable to do some benchmarks to see if it's a competitive option for production use.

Update:
Well we already have some elements there about general Swift performance.

Swift Performance

A cursory glance at instruments shows that the majority of the time in the Swift implementations (both "naive" and "unmanaged") is spent in retain/release traffic, which suggests that there's an easy 2-3x performance improvement to be had with very minor changes (and also that further improvements to how retain/release are handled at the language level would net big wins here--cc @Michael_Gottesman).
