Seriously. There's not a huge market out there for ObjC, but that's
largely due to slow takeup by the big corporations. If one or two of
the big banks, for example, decided to run with a high-profile Cocoa
project, for example, there would probably be a massive surge in
interest once they realised how fast it is to develop real apps in.
They know. They used to. The big NeXT customers were outfits like Swiss
Bank Corp.
and UBS (now merged into UBS), Nationsbank (now Bank of America), First
Chicago
(now Bank One). Fannie Mae was another customer.
Most of them tried to move to Java. I know Bank of America in Chicago
(at
the Sears Tower) has a NeXTSTEP 3.3 trading system that they're *still*
trying to move to Java.
