Native development on OSX and iOS both kind of suck unless you completely embrace objective C and coaca. I think that’s what’s turned so many people off to it.

It’s comparatively easy to write complex portable applications with tk (or even just strait win32 and whichever X11 widget toolkit is your favorite.)

- swiley 7y agoThat’s exactly what I’m talking about; you can’t reuse code on OSX and more or less have to start from scratch.

- swiley 7y agoWell yeah that gives you an OS X app and you get to reimplement it completely from scratch for all the other platforms. So it’s exactly the same problem as objective C (except you can at least compile objective C on other platforms you just don’t get the GUI stuff.)
