It really amaze me that Apple didn't and continues not to invest more on server side technologies, knowing how much apps are connected today (i can't find a single app that doesn't talk to a server one way or another).

I mean, we all know the sad state of server-side development compared to client-side (x), yet it took a personal project for Google to create Go, it took a legal issue with java for Microsoft to start working on C#, and Apple still got nothing.

(x) : not wanting to launch a flame war, but the fact that people at Google created both Go and Dart in the last 5 years does say something, not to mention the countless "Java+" languages like scala or groovy. Also, by client-side i mostly mean objective-c on xcode, which has really become a joy.
