I wonder if it really makes sense comparing a language that is less than one year old to others that have decades of improvements and fine tuning behind them .

If there was a perfect language, all of us would be using it: each one is the result of compromises between features, performance, readability, simplicity...
For an argument against an hypothetical ObjC3, just look the unending transition between Python 2 and 3.
- mattquiros 12y agoI'm not sure it's right to compare it to the Python versioning issues. Apple can just break old Objective-C code for later versions of iOS/OS X if they wanted to. Also, you can look at the adoption rate of ARC when it was introduced. Pretty much every popular third-party iOS library jumped on to implement it, and those that don't usually are abandoned projects.
