You claim someone actually loved Objective C or Perl? Or even Scala?
- langfan 4y agoI'm sure at least their "parents" did. $tongue in @cheek
- musicale 4y agoHahah. I like Objective-C with ARC (in spite of its complexity and limitations), but Swift is more compact and I'm probably never going back (except maybe for hobby projects like writing something for GNUstep.) I also like how Objective-C++ can mix in C++ code bases. It's an amazing chimera of a language.
- gorjusborg 4y agoThat's funny because to me, Perl, is the epitome of a fun write-only language!
- ihatepython 4y ago> You claim someone actually loved Objective C The problem with Objective C is that it requires skill. The average developer really is better off using a more remedial language like Swift.
