... and people discussed Toyota's faulty accelerator because they were too lazy to ditch the car and walk. Meanwhile 13yr old kids are riding their bikes and taking the bus while people bemoan Toyota and complain about their faulty pedal.
Arguing that developers wishing to write cross-platform applications are lazy* must be a welcome break from spending your days developing applications in assembly, once for each instruction set of the target platforms. I have little issue with Apple's TOS, since I never considered developing for any of their devices - I don't qualify on any aspect of the vertical market they require anyway. But I can recognise why the restriction to C/C++/Obj-C irks people, and that is there is no decent, plausible, *technical* reason for it. Everyone accepts that not every language is available for every platform, and they certainly don't expect the platform owner to provide it, but to actively restrict it purely from a business perspective, just strikes developers (at the very least, this one) as... unsavoury.
