Yup, it's dead to me.

So is this just an object-oriented Go?

@xianc78 @lanodan So Objective-Go?
Sounds like something Crapple came up with.
Their Objective-C language is way more harder to learn than C++!

@ryo @xianc78 @lanodan Is it really? I’m not too familiar with either, but from what I’ve seen of them and read about tehm, C++ seems to differ from C in subtle ways and mix in lots of its own syntax, while Objective-C is just C with object definitions and messaging in the form of [object message]. Or is there much more to it?

@tirifto @xianc78 @lanodan Sure, both C++ and Objective-C are different variations with different ways of doing OOPs.
However, at least C++'s syntax is still learnable for a C programmer, whereas Objective-C's syntax is so unlike C and C++, it'll easily make you destroy your Mac with a hammer, and buy yourself a Librebooted ThinkPad.

@ryo @tirifto @lanodan It doesn't matter anymore anyway. Objective-C is now deprecated in favor of Swift.

@xianc78 @tirifto @lanodan Never tried Swift before, but then again I don't have an iDevice to build it for.
I do have an ancient MacBook Pro though, but it's running GhostBSD.
I tried to install FreeBSD, but Xorg refused to work, so I dubbed it FreeBullShiD.

@ryo @tirifto @lanodan It's supported on other platforms including Linux, but it's primarily used on Apple devices. It seems like a clean, modern language, but it allows using emojis to name variables, functions, etc which is stupid.
