When I tried to port TYF to iPhone and Objective-C and AJRDatabase, that's what I ran into. I wrote an adaptor for SQLite, that worked, and got the Model into the iPhone and that worked, database reads into EO classes worked. But when I tried to track (I did re-write some of AJRDatabase) an error in the update cycle within EOModel I got busted, it broke me. And I did not find the port of my Java, there's a lot of business logic, into Objective-C, which I had never used before, to be that hard. I would expect Swift to be better? I don't think wotaskd would be hard to do. > > I am sure I am missing something, but I don’t see where a programming > language would help us.
