Facebook iOS App Ditching HTML5 For ObjectiveC 240
Wrath0fb0b writes "The New York Times reports that Facebook is overhauling their iOS App to ditch their HTML5 based UI for a native ObjectiveC one. This is an about face from their position a few months ago in which FB said HTML5 would allow them to write once run anywhere. While WORA certainly has a lot of appeal for both programmers (due to desire not to duplicate effort) and management alike (due to desire not to pay programmers to duplicate effort), the large number of negative reviews that FB for iOS has illustrate that this approach is not without drawbacks. No matter how the new app is received, this is more fuel on the native vs. web-app fire."

I've been dabbling in Objective C. It's... interesting. I regret nothing... well, unless I have those dreams with the brackets. So many brackets! And the garbage! Piling up everywhere! Was it five references or six? Do I feel lucky? What? Where was I? Oh. Yeah, it's OK.
