monotouch

Spent most of yesterday reinventing the wheel for XnaTouch (an awesome, awesome API on top of MonoTouch that makes this stuff way easier than maybe it should be), but it was worth it.

I'm not particularly interested in Objective-C for its own sake, but I want to be just like everyone else and make TEN BEELION DOLLARS on the back of the iPhone. I've been trying to play around with MonoTouch--which is, to borrow a technical term, really really cool--but it seems to require enough foreknowledge of Objective-C and Cocoa that I have to learn that first.

And I have a question. Well, two questions.

Question the first: How drunk were they when they came up with this insane language?

Question the second: What made the XCode developers decide they hated other people and wanted to punish them?
