News outlets says that Objective-C is quickly falling out of people’s attention and developers are turning away from it to Swift and C++. So what language will you use to code various parts of your new project? Objective-C? Swift 2? C++? Or the good old plain C?
For me, it is still Objective-C and plain C, maybe Swift 2 in the future. I always hated C++ for its confusing feature set and difficulty in mastering it, let alone fragile ABI and inability to use modules to accelerate compilation time. I never looked at the original version of Swift language closely because it is not feature stable yet and it is confusing since all my previous experiences are Objective-C, Visual Basic .net and a little bit C# (I am a convert from Windows and Windows Phone camp, gave up Microsoft four years ago when I began to see the downfall of Windows as a decent operating system) The Objective-C and C also have the advantage of being able to be ported rather effortlessly to Linux using GNUstep. Swift 2 though, provided all (Objective-)C currently have, so I am interested and will look into it once I downloaded Xcode 7.
