Rarest language? Objective-C has highest job posting to developer activity ratio

Ah, that is a horrible analysis. They are wanting to estimate the number of people with these skills by searching on hashtags, but they search only on the term "objective-c" when what they really should be searching on is Cocoa, iPhone, iPad, iOS and other terms that require one to be working in Objective-C. There's not so much to Objective-C itself that there's a lot of discussion about the language itself compared to what it is used in.<p>Also, in general I don't buy into these methodologies where someone spends a few hours doing searches on internet boards for certain keywords as a way to estimate the number of people with various skills. It's not been shown to be a valid way of getting accurate data.

Java's Ratio: Slightly less than 2 Obj-C's Ratio: Slightly more than 3<p>Let's see, I can learn Java and get a job building Android apps or a job building web apps or a job writing mainframe software or writing desktop software or writing server software or building web services or making video games...<p>...or...<p>I can learn Objective-C and get a job building iOS apps.<p>If you need a job and you're deciding between the two, Java should be a no-brainer.<p>Objective-C is a nice tool to have in your toolbox, but it shouldn't be the one you take out the most.

Okay, so everyone wants to hire an iPhone developer for whatever awesome app idea they have. Most experienced iPhone developers are already pretty busy.<p>Does that pretty much explain it?

The issue with learning objective c is the lack of portability. Yes the language runs on everything via the use of gnustep, but on first appearances its is nextstep ported to modern hardware.<p>As a disclaimer objective c is my language of choice, my plan this year is to make the code portable.

The solution? MacRuby!<p>Take the surplus of enthusiasm for Ruby, combine it with the high demand for iOS developers, and there you have it!<p>Now if only Apple would make MacRuby a first-class language for developing iOS apps...

Objective-C's outlook will be about as strong as the Apple platform will continue to be for better or for worse. Yes, it does exist outside of the Apple ecosystem, but only really in nominal form. What's more, Objective-C work pretty much implies that you'll be doing Apple development...which people may or may not want to get into for hangups. I'm not sure if the app dev craze is a trend that can continue over the long term or not. Should be interesting to see!

But is the pre-eminence of IPhone apps going to last? Number of android phones is catching up, but it seems the iphone app market has much larger revenues.

Does it make sense to think the market for Obj C talent is going to last?

Objective-c is slightly strange compared to other languages but its really just another language anyone can pick up if they put the time and effort into it. Just like you decided to learn clojure or ruby or whatever put some time in, and you can code in any language.

I do C++ for a living, do I get a pretty red line too?

Objective C is painful.
