Why is this easier than ObjC or Swift? I'm a huge JS fan, and I'd still choose those two over this. The API is still very much Cocoa, and now in JS form it's even more tedious. Not sure how you'd truly debug an app written this way, and not to mention almost all docs, examples, blog posts, etc that you ever find will be based on ObjC and Swift.
- rattray 12y ago"Easy" and "hard" are always relative terms. If someone doesn't already know ObjC or Swift, they may be considered harder for that person. Not necessarily harder in absolute terms. But I'll take that as a serious recommendation!
- city41 12y agoObjC is a very small, simple language. The hard part is Cocoa. The JavaScript bindings don't address the hard part at all.
- AlexeyBrin 12y ago> ObjC is a very small, simple language Objective-C is a small language only if you already know C. Otherwise you will have to learn C first.
- DonHopkins 12y agoBut C combines the power of assembly language with the ease of use of assembly language! Or to quote Bill Joy, "C is really just peek and poke with some syntactic sugar".
