Also --
- Java byte code is much tighter and smaller in size than PPC or x86
machine code.
- You have much better library support in Java, not only from Sun, but
Netscape, IBM, et al.
- Memory management is much better in Java. In Objective-C and C,
you're leak-prone.
- Exceptions prevent you from crashing hard in Java. In Objective-C,
you crash hard.
- Networking is much easier in Java than in Objective-C.
- You can rapidly develop applications much faster with Java than
Objective-C.
I'm sure that Objective-C performance, as it's been a top priority with
all of the recent OS X releases, will remain a top priority. To use
your guys' argument, "it's best to pick the language after you decide
what the problem is, etc." =) Works both ways.
Also --
Hopefully the runtime architecture will be open to the point where
other languages and mechanisms can be supported in the future as well.
This would be a great thing. A common runtime architecture for all
languages and frameworks in Mac OS X, as opposed to a bunch of very
different runtimes, execution environments, and bridges spanning these
distances.
