Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited).<br /><br />Section 3.3.1 new version:<br /><br /> 3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and<br /> must not use or call any private APIs.<br /><br />All the stuff about which languages you can and can’t use is gone.

Yes it would be nice to directly program the iOS using Clojure. But, Apple is first and foremost about user experience. On a constrained device that means compromises in terms of runtime, etc.<br /><br />Now let's get creative. Instead of "screw Apple" etc. Why not think outside of the box. Apple does not review source code, they review your submitted binary.<br /><br />Why not work on Clojure based DSLs that generate Objective-C source code? This would be completely valid within the terms of the license agreement. This is the kind of fun that I'm going to have.<br /><br />Happily develop for my iPad and iPhone... in Clojure. My Clojure code generator will develop in Objective-C.

Apple is allowing one interpreted language in particular, Javascript, to run in its Webkit engine. Javascript is as dynamic as any language currently in use. That would mean web applications would destroy battery life. I would hazard most bytecode compiled languages like Clojure, if configured to output Objective C source code, should run as efficiently or more so.<br /><br />Also, the C that most scheme compilers produce is usually very very efficient, probably more so than the relatively heavy objective C runtime.MEBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762841948612190295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036367734290109040.post-57969505787079700382010-04-12T03:28:02.376-07:002010-04-12T03:28:02.376-07:00C.

Lawrence Wenham has added the first touch of anti-petulance salve to the dog-pile (to mix and mangle a few metaphors).<br /><br />Apple sells the iPad as a portable device with very specific performance goals including long battery life. They cannot guarantee this if every two-bit code-pumping cowboy trots in with his/her own language, runtime, etc.<br /><br />As much as I love dynamic languages and the flexibility (both of thought and of execution) they afford, they come with a price tag. A really huge price tag if you're doing embedded development.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036367734290109040.post-32262936516560349152010-04-10T10:13:43.261-07:002010-04-10T10:13:43.261-07:00The iPhone is not a RAD platform, it's a pocke...The iPhone is not a RAD platform, it's a pocket-sized battery-powered device.
