| Mar 31, 2012 at 5:20 | comment | added | Jerry Coffin | It falls into the range where performance doesn't matter much. It's the sole supported language for interfacing to Cocoa, so if you want to do that, nothing else works at all. For anything else, I'd consider it a terrible choice, regardless of performance. | |
| Mar 31, 2012 at 5:08 | comment | added | Mason Wheeler | 1986 - Brad Cox and Tom Love create Objective-C, announcing "this language has all the memory safety of C combined with all the blazing speed of Smalltalk." Modern historians suspect the two were dyslexic. (source) | |
