The author doesn't demonstrate his case, but he's not wrong about the entire platform. The real lock-ins remain in the form of the iOS/OS X SDKs and services like CloudKit. A more coherent argument might be that the much easier and more modern Swift and latest IDE features like playgrounds will make coding for the Apple platform easier, more fun and generally lead to a continuation of the "iPhone first" approach. We always had to deal with different languages and different SDKs for each platform. This just makes one of them less of a bear. |
