I really, sincerely doubt that even Apple with all its capital could fix all the issues with Java. At heart, it's just not a good language. You can get work done in it, slowly and painfully, paying a great deal of money to a great number of code monkeys. But it's an embarrassingly bad language.
- pjmlp 8y agoThat is a matter of opinion. I could never get over typing @ and [] everywhere and typing retain/release by hand. In fact my biggest contact with Objective-C was to port a particle simulation framework from NeXTSTEP into Windows and C++. Thankfully there is Swift now.
