By the end of 2025, I finally decided to let go of Objective‑C. For a long time it had been a nostalgic beacon I enjoyed coming back to, but now it’s clear the language has too much boilerplate to remain a tool for fun, after‑hours programming. Xcode’s long‑standing inability to help with that boilerplate only made things worse. Goodbye, Objective‑C!
