Well, I've spent the last six months learning the shitiest language and libraries with the most backwards arse tools. What a total waste of my time. Can't decide whether I'm furious at this loss of time and destruction of my competitive advantage, or deliriously happy at the thought of being able to use proper tools like Resharper and IDEA. I suppose the fact is I still have a competitive advantage. I have one client purely because they tried middleware and it ran like ass, so they wanted a native app. Time to get Java installed on the iPhone. I'd prefer Monotouch, but the editors on OSX suck compared to Resharper.

If you hate researching new technologies and learning new languages, maybe developer wasn't the right profession?

  "New" as in "having recently come into existence", yes. Love it. "New" as in "new to me" but actually created in 1986, no, not so much.

  Where did he say that? Is he not allowed to criticize Objective C?

And just because the tools are allowed doesn't mean that their output is allowed to be below standards. > Time to get Java installed on the iPhone. You mean, a static Java to arm-apple-darwin compiler? It's not possible to run a JIT interpreter (HotSpot+Zero) on iOS.
