MonkeyC is such a funky language to write. It's obviously modeled on top of java, just with some syntactic differences making it instead look like a mashup with javascript.
I get why they made their own high level language to some extent, instead of shoehorning in something else. But making your whole stack from scratch must lead to lots of holes like these.
But a very nice blog post. Learned loads more about what's going on under the hood, very interesting.
Weird how permissions is mainly a UI thing. Aka how they're used is that if you have them you can use them, and it's mainly a UI thing to just show the same list in the app store. So not really enforced. I guess the fix then is to make sure it's not possible to lie in the app store?
