> Clojure

Apple should do more of that - they make cool computers, and should use cool languages.

Yeah, I wish they did more Clojure as well. As far as I could tell, it was kind of snuck in about ~12 years ago, and it kind of grew from there.

To be fair, I know people hate on it, but I honestly do kind of think Objective C is kind of a cool language. I think it's ugly but I think the message-passing style semantics are kind of neat.

Back in the day, Objective-C was considered a cool hip language, wasn't it?
