This is the last bit of post-mortem from our failure with Cocoa. Thanks for the patience of everyone who just wants to give or get tech answers here.
I was originally going to post about how modern C++ has far surpassed Objective-C. Then suggest that Cocoa would work better if Obj-C were a superset of C++ rather than plain C. Objective-C++ all the way down, not just in source files. That would make cross-platform integration much easier, and solve many of the problems we had. However, after consideration, it seems obvious that Apple will never do that. Instead, Objective-C and Cocoa will be deprecated soon, replaced by Swift and SwiftUI. That way there is just one shiny new closed system for all Apple hardware. So much simpler. Maybe I'm wrong, but we have experienced enough past pivots and bridge-burnings that another seems overdue.
