- chriswarbo 7y agoApple didn't invent Objective-C, it just-so-happened to be the language of choice at Next, which carried on into OSX and iOS. The fact that Swift is now Apple's language of choice doesn't make analysis of Objective-C "sort of pointless", any more than e.g. Facebook creating Hack would make anything involving PHP "sort of pointless".
- pmiller2 7y agoI disagree. If anything, they should have tested Obj-C and Swift. I would also have liked to see Scheme, Common Lisp, or something else lisp-y besides Clojure. Kotlin would have been interesting. R or Mathematica would have been fun, too. I guess it just comes down to needing a sufficiently large corpus of code and commits and having to eventually publish.
