Microsoft was also “the enemy” and having the fastest, best integrated JVM was seen as an important competitive advantage.
Regarding the influences, you mean Swift is inspired by C++ and ObjC by Object Pascal?
- pjmlp 3y agoThe enemy whose money rescued the company. Object Pascal => Swift, C++ => Objective-C, in terms of language culture.
- tambourine_man 3y agoNot the money per se, more like committing to Office for Mac and IE. It also helped MS in a number of ways. On the languages front, I can’t see the parallel you draw.
- pjmlp 3y agoWithout the money, there wouldn't be any Apple left regardless, they were already quite red. I guess you weren't part of the community culture of the said languages, which is something that cannot be really explained in a HN comment.
