Five years would shock me. I’d say more like ten. It’s gonna take a huge concerted effort to get rid of objc in macos, and idk if it’s worth it
- Klonoar 3y agoFWIW, I’m the author and I think I wrote that line close to 5 years ago already… so you may be right. :)
- jb1991 3y agoThere’s a proposal to allow C++ and Swift to interact in the same way that objc and C++ interact, and if that were to eventually become part of swift then objc’s days are numbered. Right now, one of the most significant reasons to continue using objc is that you don’t have to wrap everything in a C API.
