Wow I lost 20 hitpoints (and falling rapidly) over this opinion. Did I touch a nerve?

I can just imagine $AAPL shareholders quivering. "What is this guy talking about?"

Betting it all on Objective-C, a unknown language based on a superseded language. Steve was so ballsy. Google at least had a clue. Java + Android actually makes sense.

How about you use your real name and explain why you dislike my opinion?

It's a fact people would love to write apps for the iPhone in other languages. But that's not possible because Apple is a tyrannical company. Do you endorse this tyranny and do you believe it's sustainable? I don't believe it's sustainable and I believe history agrees with me, based on my 30 years of following programming languages.

Who is the child now?

Your opinions are fine, but some of your facts are incorrect.

Just want to point out that you're complaining about Apple being a tyrannical company, while at the same time you're praising Google for using Java.
