Im not trying to tell you anything about Object-C. because im just
learning it.
In my lack of knowledge, please allow me to ask this question! If
Object-C is "the" language, then why is no one using it? (compared to
java, c, c++ - object-c is not used in large numbers)
What that tells me is that Object-C is only alive because of Apple! And
Apple seams to abandon it in favor for Java.
I love the Java language, but I hate the speed of the VM, and the lack
of a strong native GUI support + other stuff.
Im not a .NET fan (and im not going to use it), but MS is doing things
with C# that Sun should have done with Java.
Maybe if Apple made cocoa work on Windows, Object-C would bloom.
Why not do like GCJ, Do your programming in Java, and skip the VM, and
compile to native ppc, using the cocoa framework?
Just some thoughts!
Niels Peter
