언제 한번 Java 부분을 번역해봐겠다 하며 할일 목록에 추가만 해둔지 수년이 지났다. 오랜만에 위키에 들어가보니 이젠 유행이 다 끝났는지, 마지막 업데이트가 2017년이다. Swift도 없다. 일종의 자학 개그이면서 부심 개그인데, '우리 언어가 더 구려'라고 엄살을 피우면서도 한편으로 '내가 이 언어를 이정도로 이해하고 있어'라는 거들먹거림도 함께 녹여져 있다. 자바는 양이 많으니 Objective C 라도 가볍게 번역해볼까 생각했지만, 막상 주욱 읽어보니 정확하게 번역할 자신이 없었다.

- No real use outside of programming for OS X and iOS that can't be done by another C-derived language, meaning your skill set doesn't extend past a certain market.
  - Using Objective-C portably is an oxymoron; GNUStep is a window manager for the fringe on Linux, and there's nothing really there for Windows at all... about the only thing that works is the compiler.
- No operator overloading.
- A "work-around" exists for method overloading.
- Tries to shoehorn the dynamically-typed Smalltalk into the statically-typed C.
- No stack-based objects.
- Syntax is very strange compared to other languages (I have to put a @ before the quotes when making a string?! Methods are called like this unless you have a single argument?!? [methodName args];)
- http://fuckingblocksyntax.com
- There is no specification at all. No one (except maybe some LLVM developers and Apple) really knows what's going on under the hood.
- Could randomly crash if you return SEL from method [4]
- Awful type system. Types are more recommendations than types.
- Objective-C++ and the unholy horrors that arise from that
  - Objective-C and C++ classes can't inherit from one another.
  - C++ namespaces cannot interact with Objective-C code at all.
  - C++ pass by value can't be applied to Objective-C objects in C++ functions; you have to use pointers.
  - C++ lambdas and Objective-C blocks are different and not interchangeable.
  - Objective-C classes can't have members that are C++ classes that lack a default constructor, or that have one or more virtual methods... except via pointers and allocating via new.
- Has no namespaces and instead encourages to use prefixes (two characters mostly) every class' name to prevent naming collision
- Objective-C has no standard library. Apple controls the de-facto one, and everything's prefixed with NS*.
- Apple's focus on Swift (which is itself yet another platform-specific language) means Objective-C is being left to rot on the vine.

Awful type system이라니. 그래... Auful이란 말은 저런 때 쓰는 거구나.
