I don't think anyone takes for granted Objective C today. It's not used but for legacy code. Awful thing anyway.

- ams6110 8y agoHardly awful. It was message dispatch object oriented programming. It allowed development of what was essentially the Mac OS X operating system and applications, in the early 1990s. Software that ran on a 25Mhz Motorola 68040. Years before Windows 95, and far more advanced and cohesive and productive than any other desktop computing platform. HTTP and web browsing was invented on a NeXT computer.
- wingerlang 8y agoWhat makes you think it is used only for legacy code?
