Considering their OS is buggy as all hell I can't imagine their coding language being that stable not to mention the lack of support due to it being new etc.

I'm calling it right now. It'll have more bugs than PHP.

Haha, I don't think that's possible Tongue

I can't stand anything to do with Apple I see them as a bunch of self important scam artists that steals other people's ideas. Business is about evolving and I see that the fact that if a company resorts to lawyers in order to raise revenue the company must have run out of any proper ideas for their products.

Even if you don't like Apple you can't say that people haven't been making lots of money via their app store. You can dislike Apple and still take advantage of the fact that people are buying apps on their iphones and ipads.

I am interested in everyone's answer to OPs question as well, maybe it's worth start learning while something's starting up?

I have no motivation at all to learn it.

Maybe as I'm doing only simple things on Cordova with pure JS and then compiling for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.
To learn it only for Apple devices... for me it's a time waste.

To say they haven't brought upon innovation is just ignorant. Of course they stretch ideas, like the iPhone, to juice as much money as they can, but that's every company. The typical and generic "I hate apple products" fad is just old and too many people are apart of it for the dumbest reasons.

So would you think it's fair that Samsung should sue Apple over its new iPhone?

What are peoples initial thoughts on Apple's new programming language, Swift?

Personally, I had very little interest in doing anything related to objective-c. I wasn't fully against it or anything, but I had little motivation to try and learn. Now that they've created an updated modern language like Python or Ruby I'm much more interested in checking it out.

Also, for people who do coding for Apple, how do you like xcode? They have xcode 6 beta and I took a look at some screenshots and docs and it looks not bad.
