Hi

I was reading in the Java Dev List about Cocoa-Java development. Some people where very harsh on Java, while others on Obj-C. I don't know Obj-C (I have 2 years experience in Java) but I like to know the differences so I can make a balanced decision about the primary language I am going to use for OS X dev.

Some people see this as religion so there's no right answer.
I'll be more blunt:

Java has its place but at best it is not a complete solution
for the desktop. At worst, it simply doesn't make sense on
the desktop.

Tons of money has been wasted or lost trying to write
significant desktop apps in Java.

The choice is yours.
