Re: Apple should get behind Cocoa Java

This thread convinced me to start reading about Objective-C. More soon, but the short version is GACK! This is not a modern language. Leaving library issues and VM aside, Java is a vastly superior language. Apple would have done themselves and their developers a big favor if they had based Cocoa on Java or C#-like knockoff rather than Objective-C.

Apple really had nothing to do with it. The reason Cocoa is based on Objective-C is that NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP (Cocoa's direct predecessors, which provided Application Kit, Foundation, and serveral other frameworks) were already based on Objective-C.
