A recent Ask HN [0] posed the title question, but for Windows. That stated that "There's a hundred of these (books)..." and wanted recommendations. Not so many for macOS at all.<p>So I'd like to ask the same question for macOS. Especially wrt to C/C++. Everything on macOS is moving towards Swift but I suspect that the major apps are not using Swift and maybe won't be doing that any time soon.<p>[0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40497383
Major apps are using ObjC (and/or Swift). What are your goals? Do you intend to write console apps, GUI apps, other? Is crossplatform a necessity?
