/prog/ - OS X and GNUstep: the only difference

Name: Anonymous 2007-12-21 18:53

is that you've got that fancy Aqua window manager in OS X.
Besides that, it's the exact same fucking BSD, so why the fuck are so many idiots choosing to develop only for OS X?
Are Apple fanboys really that brainwashed?

You have to ask?

Well, there are a variety of cool developer toys (Core *) that aren't in GNUstep yet. But mostly people develop for OS X because unlike GNUstep it actually has users.

That's because GNUstep isn't using the BSD license.

Apple fanboys can program? Bullshit!

That's because there's no GNUstep or OpenStep target in Xcode. For the same reason you can't use OGG in iTunes.

I don't write for either, but as >>3 said, GNUstep is currently lightyears behind Cocoa. Also, no one really uses GNUstep because they've adopted an ivory-towerish approach to supporting existing GUI environments. It's a shame, really, because GNUstep would've been a superior choice for the FOSS GUI.

AppleScript is, in fact, a pretty strong argument for >>6.

AppleScript is a SCRIPTING language (i.e. HTML), not an EXPERT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE!

HTML is a markup language. Javascript is a scripting language.

Javascript is no longer a mere scripting language, it is the new universal language. Now that the desktop is dead, every new application is delivered using AJAX. People will continue using Javascript long after Python and C++ are dead.

I'm still waiting for a native-code Javascript compiler though. I can't imagine what's keeping it.

ECMAScript is a pretty sweet language. Too bad Javascript bundles it with such a horrible, inconsistent browser API.

EMACScript is better, and it powers a whole OS.
