@shanselman It feels like Apple’s ‘fuck you’ to Android & folks like Apportable. Effect will be even greater lock-in (also Metal, CloudKit). - 1 more reply

@aral: ‘Why does Apple create a new programming language? Because they want to lock you in.’—Joe Armstrong" // what if open sourced? -
@CocoaGeek what if they called it C#? -
@swartable true that C# is mainly a MS thing, but one can still use c++ to write modern Windows app -
@CocoaGeek interesting difference is that .NET runtime is not popular internally at MS, whereas objc runtime is deep in Cocoa

@aral@CameronBytheway because obj-c worked so well on droid and windows :) -
@EthanDParker those aren't the only platforms in the world. I can easily compile obj-c on linux -
@CameronBytheway I stand corrected. I'm not even mad.

@aral it seems to me they are trying to lower the bar. ObjC's concepts are so different to a Java or C# dev that it stops many from tryingThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral because objective C is used so many other places? They're just trying to bring in progs who have no C like experienceThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
