And MacOS applications. You know, the second bigger desktop platform.
But it's not like "where it's used" matters. That's mostly just a historical accident. If Microsoft had adopted it instead of C++ for example (which is not that outlandish), it would have been used a lot more. There was also NeXT that adopted ObjectiveC (it was developed before it), and OpenStep which also involed Sun and other players etc.
And compared to "being used for iOS apps" (e.g 1 million apps in the most lucrative mobile market", Lisp and Smalltalk are not used even 1/100 that. And Haskell even less (some "success story" here and there, eg an obscure bank, and that's mostly it). Does that make them bad languages?
And the fact that it doesn't have namespaces. Yeah, so like C. So that's important, because?
>Nope, that's exactly what I think it is.
Well, doesn't seem like you do. Or have any extended experience with the language. It's just empty snark to convey "oh, so obsolete".
