Hyperloop looks like an exciting way forward for Appcelerator. I've read the very basic Hyperloop docs and watched the intro video. In the intro video I can see that simple Swift or Objective-C files can be used,
I'm interested to find out how much of an exisiting Swift/Objective-C codebase could be dropped into a Hyperloop project? Could we for example, take an entire project written in Swift/Objective-C and work on it using Hyperloop?
Does anyone have any hands on experience?
Cheers!

I recommend looking at the examples at Loop Modules since they provide a lot of how-to for using Swift-Objective C in Hyperloop. From my own experience, you can't drop and drag a current X-Code project, every piece that is integrated into Hyperloop works as a module (they call it framework, but for me it is a module) which needs to be adapted to be used inside Titanium.
My personal experience, with enough tinkering (or knowledge) you can integrate any native Swift-Objective C component you want. I even went as far as compiling source C and integrating that in Hyperloop and calling the functions in that with C as well.
Currently I'm using Javascript, Swift, Objective-C and C in the same project and it works great so far :)
Also the latest documentation from Appcelerator is here
Another good news is Hyperloop is now available to the free Indie program at Appcelerator.
You can potentially use a lot of the code but you can't (today) easily drop in a full xcodeproject without a bit of work.
If you look at the example iOS project that comes alongside Hyperloop (http://labs.appcelerator.com/project/55f74a9f421c44837717716b/Hyperloop-Module) you can see some drop in examples of both swift and objective-c code.
