Original post. iOS in Java?! Why?! GWT! Why. Just learn ObjC, Javascript, whatever the local language is... It's not that hard really...
The same can be applied to legions of other programmers that what to everything in C, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, whatever is their be and end all language...
The advertised benefit is reusing your code across platforms.
yes, write once, lag everywhere.
it's just that the syntax of ObjC is a total mind fuck.
Wish you could code in whatever you wanted and then compile to native code with a plain compiler, no need for the UI designer BS. Just give me a Java to native compiler and wrappers to all the Cocoa libraries.
