Some of the Cappuccino apps I've seen are very nice but the language really seems like a step in the wrong direction from Javascript. JS has its warts, to be sure, but I still find it a lot more readable than Obj-J.
- boucher 16y agoThat's a valid opinion, but I can't say I agree (and I imagine you would be surprised if I did). There are plenty of reasons why Objective-J is a good idea, but the single most important one in terms of readability is the structure it adds. There are so many different ways to do the most basic things in JavaScript that reading or sharing code between authors (often even within a project) can be a nightmare. There are lots of times where it really doesn't matter, but when you are writing large scale applications, which often run in the tens or hundres of thousands of lines of code, it makes a big difference.
