Although if anything iOS proves you can build a billion dollar software ecosystem on a niche language: Objective-C.

Here the key information is that you can build a billion dollar software ecosystem for smartphones with any turing complete language, IF you are the first on the smartphone market. Such a situation will no longer happen in mankind history.

Also, are you always this rude or is it just internet comments that you disagree with? Firstly I must say that I'm pretty tired of low intellectual efforts comments, especially when they increase or maintain a common erroneous/suboptimal opinion. As such, I highly consider information pollution and I want to protect people from this and their cognitive biases.

Also, It require a big chunk of wisdom, but if you really think about it: Did your brain forgot to take into account this little information? Is not rude at all. This statememt is true and I didn't use imperative mood but conditional grammatical mood. Also some truths hurts ego indeed. But being hurt by information showing that our brain has limitations is irrational, we as humans make thinking errors as a daily routine, myself included. Such information allow you and readers to progress (iff they bypass their ego and the backfire effect). Personally I exclude myself from my past brain and my statements, I visualize them as beings outside of myself so when someone attack (without fallacies) what I said, they didn't attack ME, they attacked only what I said: that is, an intellectual product that could have been malformed due to limitations such as lacking knowledge or cognitive biases or presence of logical fallacies.

My comment could show you there is a path to intellectual progress and I could give you some useful links (such as lesswrong.com ) if you're interested in it.

Thanks for reading, human not made of pixels.
