Yeah, obj-c language is crazy. About the only thing more archiac is cobol. I don't care how innovative it was in the 80s. It's a damn fossil nowadays.
When going through tutorials and examples I just couldn't stop myself from saying: this would be so much simpler if I could write it in c# (my prefered language, but a bunch of others would come ahead of it if I had to make a list).
- gte910h 17y agoCrazy? It's just smalltalk mixed with C. Learn those two, it makes total sense. C#'s only features on the language IMO were: Better XML api's and Garbage Collection. Both of those are actually iPhone limitations, not language limitations.
- redstripe 17y agoFine not crazy, but definitely archiac. Saying it's as modern as 2 other 30+ year old languages is funny. Heck, doesn't Apple even have a commercial where PC guy gives Mac guy a C manual or something like that? It just takes so much more code than modern languages. Obviously that doesn't bother some people but it bugs me. I find this especially frustrating from a company that brags about how user friendly it is. To me obj-c is the DOS of programming languages.
- gte910h 17y agoAnd C# is Java2.0. It's the re-enterprisation of a 18 year old language designed to replace cobol. I'm not an apple apologist, and wish I could run a real dynamic language on the device. C# however, was not that.
