Objective-C and Swift are used all over the Apple platforms, including desktop macOS. So „barely used“ on other platforms is not really true.
Also considering the number of iOS devices, those two languages are probably more usable in practice than for example C#, even if the latter is cross-platform.
- dreamcompiler 3y ago"barely used on other platforms" clearly meant (to me anyway) barely used on non-Apple platforms. They're not terrible languages, but they're pretty uncommon outside the Apple ecosystem.
