No, it’s not, or at least not as fast as the current churn in frontend JS dev. I started doing Cocoa dev on the Mac in 2005. There have been changes to be sure, the biggest being the introduction of Swift I’m 2014. But I’m still using AppKit. I can (and do) still use Objective-C alongside Swift. And I have a pretty big codebase dating back to 2006 that still compiles and runs fine even with the latest version of Xcode.
(I realize this isn’t backend dev, but there are other kinds of programming besides web development :-))
