Objective-C programmers discussion thread
I just thought I'd make a thread for everyone who codes in Objective-C (all 10 of them) to discuss things about the language, for example:
Let's discuss. -TN82 |
I don't think your thread will be very active. Outside of Apple it's never been popular, and even there I think they're moving away from it (Swift?).
I read up on it a good while back and if I remember rightly I preferred the syntax to that of C++, but I just wasn't interested in having to learn yet another Framework on top of a new language syntax. I've never really been sold on the OOP concept anyway. |
Will you just dig the attractive modern-looking platform you can use it to program for:

I personally think that "Objective C," like Pascal before it, is "quietly losing the 'language wars'" even within Apple. There are now quite a number of competing languages, including Apple's "Swift" but also many others, which allow "mobile (and, non-mobile) applications" to be developed more quickly and with less tedium.
"As Time Marches On," this development space has begun to coalesce around user expectations which are common, and "cross-platform" is now considered to be The New Normal. "Tool-makers" that we all are, we've developed Tools which supersede the older systems. Including this one. Just as with "web sites," it is necessary that "apps" must be "universal, and cheap." |
