Apple’s Objective-C Now Third Most Popular Coding Language On Earth [Report]

Objective-C, the coding language used to build iOS apps for Apple's App Store, has risen to become one of the most popular languages.
Objective-C, the coding language used to build iOS apps for Apple's App Store, has risen to become one of the most popular languages.

When Apple opened the App Store in 2008, it began a revolution that would lead to the largest and most vibrant mobile apps ecosystem in existence. It should then come as no surprise that Objective-C, the object-oriented coding language used by developers to build apps for iOS and OS X, has become the third most popular coding language, right behind Java and C itself.

iOS Development Makes Objective-C The Third Most Common Programming Language

iOS app development makes Objective-C one of the most popular programming languages.

According to a recent study, iPhone and iPad app development has a bigger learning than curve than any other mobile platform. It also costs developers more in terms of time and expenses to develop an iOS app than to create an Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone app.

Despite those challenges, iOS has boosted the popularity of Objective-C, the programming language used by Apple for both Mac and iOS development – making it the third most popular language with developers.
