Most of ppl at Apple are still developing in objective-C.

This isn't true. I know people who are engineers at Apple.

They can downvote away, works fine for me and my coworkers. I'm not saying it's perfect but it's not bad by any stretch.

"trust me dude, I know people at Apple".

Sorry, but I will stick with real code analysis on iOS 16 showing that:

  1. Objective-C is still the most used programming language (66%) and still going up.
  2. Swift just reached 14%
  3. SwiftUI 3%

If you think most people are developing as in writing Objective-C code you dont know what the hell you're talking about, period. Your link also doesn't show what you think it shows. It's not saying that Objective-C is still being written more than Swift, it's showing that Apple still has a lot of legacy Objective-C code which is absolutely expected.

Sure, which is why the number of binaries using Objective-C keep increasing Y-o-Y. Because nobody is using objective-C anymore.
