> ObjectiveC is a MUCH, MUCH better language, but it's very hard to find work making apps in it these days.
As someone who has worked for the last 12 years as a full time iOS developer... ObjC is inmensely inferior to Swift in so many ways, the bigger one probably being the lack of optionals.
Because of optionals alone, pure Swift codebases deal away (almost entirely if it wasn't for IUOs) with what's the number 1 issue in ObjC, which is `nil` object exceptions.
And even if you disregard the technical advantages, the syntax is so much nicer and easier to read (and this is coming from someone who once thought ObjC was great!).
How is ObjC superior to Swift in any way?
