Re:Why many developers still prefer Objective-C to Swift on Friday October 06, 2017 @09:17PM (#15421674)
Uhh because Swift threatens their job? Objective-C is an abomination, which has kept Python/Ruby/JS developers away. Swift on the other hand greatly simplifies switching between, JS,Python,Swift. From employers perspective this opens up a huge talent pool, for employees especially the Objective-C hipsters its a bad news, since their privileged status in the app economy is now under threat.

I don't see any sane new startup/projects using Obj-C, other than bullying by Obj-C devs.

Could not agree more. Let's install Java to build something that does not needs Java at all. They could have used Go, Python, hell even something like CMake.

I wonder how its implemented. I think its possible to do run this type of service at a very large scale for extremely low costs using AWS Lambda and Cloudwatch events.
