I'm otherwise mainly a Rubyist, but I have to say that on the whole I really like the verbosity of Cocoa, because I find it's generally the right sort of verbosity: it's there to clearly and unambiguously describe what's going on. The stringByReplacingOccurencesOfString:withString: method, as mentioned in the article, is a great example of that: three cheers for it!
- ant5 16y agoWhen I speak of verbosity, I'm more referring to the need to repeat yourself and turn simple tasks into heavyweight ones via required boilerplate. The long method names don't bother me.
