I couldn't read this without thinking about MacRuby.
It's hard for me to believe that he hasn't heard of MacRuby, but if he had, how could he not mention it in the article.
MacRuby could be a great answer to a lot of the issues he brings up.
- dkarl 16y agoScripting languages on any platform are a great answer. PyQt is even a good answer on Linux. They don't establish an "expected" standard, though. If you're developing on Windows, you need a pretty good excuse to use "unsafe" code. On Linux and OSX, people use manual memory management without realizing they've shouldered an unnecessary burden. It's the default.
