FW: Objective C vs. Java

  • Subject: FW: Objective C vs. Java

> "We" recently made a decision to develop a new application in Cocoa. This
> will be a significant product that will require development and
> maintenance for years to come. "I" am the fortunate individual who gets to
> do the initial development (no sarcasm - it's been years since I've worked
> on non-legacy code). My background is C and C++, and I'm looking forward
> to learning (a lot about) Java and/or Objective-C. Since we have no legacy
> code for this project, I get to do it right.
>
> Does anyone have any logical or illogical reasons to prefer Java or
> Objective-C for Cocoa development?
>
> From things I've seen and heard, I'm concerned about the following:
> Everyone (but me) knows Java, so it seems a good choice as far as finding
> more engineers in the future as the product gets bigger..
> Is Java _demonstrably_ less efficient than ObjC in MacOSX?
> This product will eventually connect to a back-end server that speaks HTTP
> and/or XML. Should this influence my decision?
