Using a frozen language isn’t the real problem here, though.

The Apple ecosystem slowly gains new frameworks like SwiftUI that simply don’t work with Objective C anymore. The platform is abandoning one language similar to Microsoft and their VB story. It will take a long time, but AppKit & UIKit will end similarly to how Carbon ended on macOS.

Except SwiftUI is built on AppKit and UIKit as far as I know.
