- chj 10y agoWhat if he doesn't know about Object C at all? Different domain, I think.
- justinator 10y agoI dunno. A different domain would be like if I called my new bluegrass band, Uikit. This name does sort of confuse. Although I don't know how more generic you can get then, "User Interface Kit", although the capitalization of Uikit is a little awkward.

- elsurudo 10y agoNot that generic – Apple uses "kit" as a suffix for most of their frameworks, and I don't know any other large frameworks that do that (could be wrong on this, of course, but it does seem an "Apple thing" at this point).
- kellyjprice 10y agoI can think of 2 much older examples of 'kit', as a part of toolkit, in a UI framework name: * GTK * Tk of Perl/Tk
- huxley 10y agoNeXTSTEP (macOS and iOS's predecessor) predates Tk's the use of the term kit by 3 years and GTK's by almost 10.
