And I guess Cocoa (the initially Objective-C based application framework for macOS) was kind of a wordplay on Java again. It’s like Java, just sweeter ;)

- pjmlp 4y agoDuring OS X early days, Apple wasn't sure that the Mac OS developer community groomed on Object Pascal and C++, was that keen into embracing Objective-C. So they jumped into the Java hype, created their own JVM implementation, with Swing extensions for the OS X UI, and Cocoa Bridge was born for Objective-C interop, with bindings for all key Apple techonologies like Quicktime and such. When it became clear that Objective-C wasn't going to be an adoption problem, instead of using a 3rd party owned language, they dropped support for Java and eventually gave their implementation to OpenJDK.
