How much of this is tied to Apple frameworks? I noticed that the Linux support requires GNUStep, so I'm assuming quite a bit? The impression I'm getting is that this requires a non-trivial, Apple-flavored runtime to be useful. GNUStep apps are pretty awful experiences today due to being based on outdated Nextstep UI concepts that do no adapt well to anything other than MacOS.
Is this meant to be used for creating GUI apps? Because if it is, relying on the ancient GNUStep for multiplatform support seems suspect. And if it's primarily intended for Mac/iOS development, then why should someone use this over Objective-C/Swift?
(btw no hate for GNUStep here, I've played with it in the past and think it's awesome, just not very relevant nowadays)
- metadat 4y agoIt seems the amount of code you need to write to get overly-specific common things done is extremely small compared to Swift, Obj-C, Rust, Java, Go, or Python.
