I don't mean to start any flame wars, but I am interested in a serious
reply.
I just saw an advert for an Objective C programmer. My first reaction
was "wtf?" So I Google for it and sure enough, it looks like it's
strongly sup****ted on the Mac. Wild. I thought Objective C disappeared
with the Next.
So, is there currently a compelling reason to start programming in
Objective C, vs other languages? How do you feel Java and C++ stack up
against Obj-C? Is it a legacy language or are new products actively
using it?
Again, I'm not for or con, I was just kind of boggled to see a request
for active development.
And I'm not planning on starting a new career as an Objective C
programmer, I'm just curious where the language is at these days.
Thanks!
