San Francisco is fun, don’t get me wrong. Compared to New York, it’s boring. I have trouble even thinking about living in an apartment in Mountain View, Cupertino or Palo Alto. Those places are socially dead. Mountain View,

The worst part is Apple forces you to use Objective-C on the iPhone even if better options exist. I created a Lua/Cocoa bridge http://probablyinteractive.com/2009/10/18/Setting-up-iPhone-... that works wonderfully. It considerably cuts do

He is at the first stage of Cocoa development. Learning a new language is fun, and you can create some really cool stuff with the Cocoa frameworks. But once that wears off you are left with Objective-C, a vestigial language that isn't suite

You are only ripping off the business if you didn't pay for the first ticket or if you are sneaking into a sold-out show.

You are right, compared to C++ and C ObjC has advantages. But compared to other langues it has major drawbacks. Here are some reasons I don't like Objective-C (these mostly apply to iPhone dev only) - Header Files: These are archaic and req

Does restricting the use of RegexKitLite (actually libicucore) make Apple's reasoning it any more sane?
41.
by probablycorey 16y ago
It's not an unofficial regex API, It is the libicucore a regex library that is available on the phone. It is even available from the xcode "Add Existing Frameworks" dialog.

I hope it is a joke too. Even if it isn't true, it's sad that it seems so believable.

It hardly matters until we pump all the aquifers dry. At that point a majority of US crops will be reliant upon rain water, which won't be enough to sustain the farms in the west. Much of Oklahoma, Kansas, California will revert back into t

I think you can safely say any Flash iPhone app is going to be larger than the Hello World app. The only issue in question is how much larger.

by probablycorey 16y ago
Are you saying that a typical Flash app would be smaller, or a typical iPhone app would be larger?

Tap Tap Revenge is written with Lua, which is now apparently forbidden by Apple. So, people doing actually business, making noteworthy apps are going to be hurt by Apple's policys as well. It isn't a fringe group that uses languages other t

Objective-C is a just a tool, and most of the time it is overkill for creating apps. If you are just creating a single app, you are right, it is not a big deal. But if you do iPhone contracting for a living, and the money you make correlate

There are lots of things people won't do for any price. That doesn't make them stupid or insane. I wouldn't separate from my wife for $2bn. I wouldn't cut off my fingers for $2bn. I wouldn't murder someone for $2bn. A religious person may n

Why are you writing this argument? It has been made on the Internet multiple times, and others spent more time writing their argument and explained your point better.

That is great advice if you are building an enterprise ready language, have no job and a year to devote to reading and digesting all that literature. This isn't an ivory tower book, it's how to bootstrap your own language quickly using open

Yeah, that's the same reason why nobody makes money or develops for the internet.
