To me, writing UIs in code is one of the more terrible ideas to come out of modern iOS development.

Carbon wasn't presented that way in the beginning. They were supposed to be the three equal pillars of OS X development. Carbon was the C-based procedural framework, Objective-C was the object-oriented framework, and Java was, well, th

I use Swift for small applications, but the language is clearly incomplete, and and its tools are not ready for large, complex projects. You can use it, but it's painful. Just today, I had to write dozens of lines of RawOptionSetType c
