My favorite object orientation language is, of course, Objective-C. The language goes hand-in-hand with the NeXTSTEP classes. Ten years ago, OPENSTEP - the best operating system ever to have existed - ran on a multitude of platforms.
But those Cupertino Beige Box™ idiots really screwed the pooch when they began the occupation of NeXT. They're trying to stop advanced programmers like me, who consult for hundreds of famous companies, from getting my products out. Yes, they're barring me from producing software. Because they don't make OPENSTEP available for other platforms anymore. I couldn't just use another language/API, of course. Apple forces me to use Objective-C/Cocoa and on top of that, they force me to only create products for Mac.
I don't understand why Apple's shareholders put up with this. It's ridiculous. These clowns running Apple have no business sense. AAPL stock on December 20th, 1996, closed at $5.88/share. On Friday, December 28th, 2007, AAPL closed at $199.83. I really don't get why the hell these idiot investors accept this crap from Apple management.
The fact remains that Apple led us down the garden path. Just read the WWDC chronicles (which I of course didn't copy verbatim in violation of federal copyright law a few days ago, that was just everyone's imagination). These stupid Maccie fanboy morons. But luckily their numbers are dwindling by the day. The Landed Gentry of Mac Development™ is going to see what it means when people don't just drink the Kool-Aid and actually speak their minds. Like me. Actually, it's only me for now. But I swear, there will be two of us within the next decade. So watch out.
