How to write an iOS app purely in C

As someone recently noted in the discussion of Swift, Objective-C is basically older than the CD-ROM. I'd say the language has had several decades of life, not 15 minutes of fame.

(Actually, it appears Objective-C is certainly older than the CD-ROM and is from about the same era as the audio CD.)

Looks like Objective C finally surpassed Fortran and Cobol somewhere in 2011. Good luck to you in the future ;-)

And the CDROM wasn't a blip in history between the Compact Cassette and now? BTW the CD-ROM is still way more popular than Objective-C.

But nice try anyway.
