The problem, is that I have to write a program with a friend who works on Windows ... So if I write something in Obj-C, my friend has no change to do something with this code. Perhaps I will have to give a chance to VPC to code in Java on Windows from my Mac :( !! I hope that one day, Apple (or someone else) will write a JSR-82 version working for Mac, because the whole device community follows Java and not Obj-C !!! And with the boom of Ubiquitous devices that is on the way, this fact will become even more important !

But the software that's selling Macs is not written in Java. None of it. Apple would be crazy to concentrate their resources on a language that they've tried twice before to exploit, to disastrous effect each time. (In the early days of Rhapsody Apple decided to port all of its bundled Obj-C apps to Java -- it found them so slow and buggy it ported them all back to Obj-C. Apple also decided to throw away the Obj-C WebObjects and port it to Java in 5.0. Haven't heard much about WebObjects lately, have you?) The Bluetooth team made the right decision to support Objective-C right out of the gate -- I was able to write a driver for a Bluetooth handheld scanner in a single day, without knowing anything about Bluetooth before that. -Wil Shipley Delicious Monster Software On May 9, 2004, at 2:26 AM, Bruce Hopkins wrote: Apple really needs to consider where it should focus its resources, because there are millions of Java programmers out there, compared to the thousands of Objective-C developers. _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
