Objective-C Booming Thanks to iOS Development
Do you like this story?
According to a recent study iOS app development seems to have a larger learning curve than other mobile platforms. Not only is it more difficult to learn and master it also costs developers more in terms of time, effort, and expenses to develop and iOS app compared to developing an Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone app. That being said, the iOS platform has boosted the popularity of Objective-C, the programming language used by Apple for development on both the iOS platform and the Mac platform, which in turns makes it the third most popular language with developers.
It was also revealed that despite the iOS platform being costly to develop for, it also offered the most financial reward. With the most to gain, it’s easy to see why many developers would favor iOS development and Objective-C over other platforms and programming languages. July's TIOBE Programming Community Index shows that Objective-C beat out C++ for the number three spot, being left behind C and Java, which took the top two spots with 18.331% and 16.087% of developers using them respectively. Objective-C recently earned a respectable 9.335%, putting it just a little ahead of C++ which had 9.118% of developers actively using it.
The top ten list of programming languages include the following:
- C 18.331%
- Java 16.087%
- Objective-C 9.335%
- C++ 9.118%
- C# 6.668%
- Visual Basic 5.695%
- PHP 5.012%
- Python 4.000%
- Perl 2.053%
- Ruby 1.768%
Apple seems to be gaining traction in various studies and charts, most of which continue to reflect the company’s growth.
