HN comment orderMarcel Weiher has been stubbornly treading his own path for more than a decade. As the iOS/macOS world moves towards Swift, he goes back to Smalltalk principles. As Apple introduces SwiftUI to appease the webdev crowd raised on React, he builds his own small and efficient GUI story. I'm quite convinced he's onto something.
Wait, wasn't Objective-C already based on Smalltalk? Is this a Smalltalk-ier Objective-C or what? Also, the "Object Templates" block is misconfigured.
