I am sad they didn't decide to build it with Objective C. It would have made sense given Objective C could work well with GTK, and Apples devs would have felt half at home. Swift would be cool nowadays. https://rhx.github.io/SwiftGtk/ https://rhx.github.io/SwiftGtk/
New apps in the Pantheon system could I guess be written in any language.
- pjmlp 7y agoExcept that is hardly any usable Objective-C tooling outside Apple platforms. GCC is stuck on a pseudo Objective-C 2.0 support. clang does support the basic stuff, but there are no libraries. Yeah, there is GNUstep, but it is like stuck on Pather level compatibility or something like that.
- jacobush 7y agoI wasn't even longing for the libraries, I think just the languages could lure over some Mac programmers to Elementary.
