Why Objective-C? #1

Open lrusnac opened 9 years ago

lrusnac commented 9 years ago

It seams a new project, and as I understood you are not a programmer, why using Objective-C and not Swift? Swift is a cool new language. Swift is easier to use and learn. What are the things that lead you into studying Objective-C and not Swift?

Because the POP framework.I used Quartz Composer with Origami before,at that time,there was no Swift version's POP.I thought(maybe my thought was not right)Swift is hard to combine with Cocoapods.And swift is always changing.That's the reason I didn't use Swift.I'm waiting Xcode 7 Official version's release and Swift 2.How do you think about it?Should I begin to learn Swift right now?(But in Xcode 6,only Swift 1.2)Thank You

I'm not a iOS developer, but I have seen objective-c and a little bit of Swift. I must say that Swift is a great language, but yes it is young. With version 2 and because apple want to open source it I think it will be better every day now. So I would recommend it instead of Objective-C, especially for people that start programming
