Exactly. It's not about forbidding other languages, they just don't want to be beholden to things like CS5. Gruber was right.
- goatforce5 17y agoI wouldn't be utterly surprised if Apple took Titanium Mobile: http://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile http://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile or bought Appcelerator and made a play for it to be the environment to develop mobile apps in. If the future says we'll be able to cross-compile our apps for the 2 or 3 most popular mobile platforms, why not do have people do it on Macs, in Apple's environment, and have the paid apps end up appearing in an Apple controlled app store? (side note: i've mentioned Appcelerator a few times in previous comments. I have no connection to them other than thinking it's a pretty neat product and have been looking forward to diving in to it properly. I'll be annoyed if Apple removes that as an option from me. FWIW, Appcelerator is the reason i've already paid $99 to register as an iPhone developer.)
