I'm going through the Scala portion of Seven Languages in Seven Weeks, and is it just me, or does Swift take a bunch of concepts from Scala?

Good question! I don't know if Swift is intentionally based on Scala in any significant way, but Scala has similar ancestry -- the goals of both could be more-or-less dismissively described as "an ML with objects that interoperates with [something that isn't ML]," which inevitably creates a lot of similarity. Languages you can look at if you want something closer to the source are Standard ML or Haskell.
