Let's get real, developers aren't going to flee from iPhone because of some draconian framework / compatibility measure.

Just like they didn't flee because of restrictions on which Apps got into the app store. Certainly no one liked it, but they kept writing apps just the same.

The iPhone has sexiness and installs on it's side, that will keep the vast majority of programmers chugging away at C / C++ / Objective-C despite their misgivings.

Edit: If you have a big community website, a startup/company operating trough the website, you may need a ToS and privacy policy. You can at least "assemble" one like I did back in 2008 with my company, enterprise market. So I got relevant pieces from Google (especially the privacy policy), Yahoo, Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk too, etc, and adapted it to my business.
Thought: They already reserve the right to reject an app for no reason at any time, why add this to the SDK terms?

Are these misplaced contributions actually "against" the candidate (even though I have "for" selected), or did these contributors somehow get money back from the campaign coffers?

Your lock-in argument is wrong. Of course there are always dependencies. But it's important to be able to choose which dependencies are the right ones for your application. Mandating a particular API isn't just lock-in. It's lock-in lock-in. You're signing away the right to choose the right tool for the job.

I've seen many systems that use relational databases be patched up with if (null)/then/else in the application where fields have been added and the change was not important enough to justify a data migration. I wouldn't say this practice is OK just that it happens quite a bit in my experience.

If I was using couchdb I would assume that all but the most fundamental fields were optional and have the application act accordingly.
This is human nature, it's not related to source openness. Open source would just allow you to start over after you have been treated badly if you have the needed development skills (hello Mr. Drepper).

It's also worth noting that the users aren't getting screwed at all by Apple, only the developers and only a small fraction of them.
I wish you luck in your endeavor.

You're realistic but may be a little hard on yourself (I can't speak for your abilities in truth). Keep positive and possibly do OS projects as well.
Great post, but I'll disagree on one point.

(First my credentials: I was an avid player of Atari 2600 games at the time, so I remember the period in question first-hand.)

My take is not that there was a decline in quality due to any sort of technical reason, it was due to a drop in the quality of the gameplay design and playtesting. That, in turn, I'm guessing was due to the number of Atari 2600 game creators increasing past the threshold of GOOD game designers & playtesters available. After all, it was a relatively new field at the time, video game design. Perhaps it reached a point where there were say 50 new games being "designed" concurrently but there were only 20-30 good designers. Whereas before, it was under that threshold.

This was my theory because I've heard your position stated a few times in the web, but from direct experience I remember it being more a drop in the quality of game play rather than in code quality or technical polish.

Skeptical for two reasons:

(1) Webapps for the iphone where the first apps for the iphone. Apart form the head start, the lip service, the momentum, there are already many good reasons to prefer to develop these over native apps. Yet, iphone apps are developed, bought, sold, used. That's pretty good indication that there is some advantage here.

(2) Google doesn't have a business model around this. I would argue that they aren't proven in developing new business models. The 'get more people browsing' has its limits, even for Google. Microsoft had an empire to create from an OS standard. What does Google really have to gain? I know they are active in this space and putting a lot of money into it but, there is a limit to how far they can go without getting a return.

I've find the debug tools in the WebKit nightlies to be more polished and just as capable as those offered in Firebug, without the jank of Firefox on the Mac. What specific features are essential to your workflow that WebKit doesn't offer?
Computers have different speeds, and the same software still runs on them. (Unless the computer's too slow or the program is sloppily coded, but then that's the fault of the manufacturer or programmer.) Why do you think a framework should iron out performance differences?

Apple has pursued a single consistent goal under the reign of King Jobs II: protect the ecosystem, and grow it in careful, measured increments.

In order to keep something great from turning to crap, you have to have a gatekeeper. If you don't trust the gatekeeper, that's OK. But I'm hearing a lot of noise from developers who are already beholden to their own gatekeepers (whether it's the core team of your open source project, Microsoft, Oracle/Sun, or whoever). I mean, Adobe?! Could there be a more arbitrary and horrible gatekeeper than Adobe?!

Just because Apple doesn't do what you want doesn't make them better or worse than any maintainer of any "good thing". In the end, it all boils down to whether you trust Apple to do the right thing.

If you don't, then you're welcome to go punt on the umpteen device platforms that are currently vapor. (How many years have we been hearing about "iPod killers", and where are we with that?)

It's OK to complain, but I really would have thought the HN audience would understand that EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE is a trade-off. Yes, we should be debating the rules that Apple imposes, because we have a say in that. No, that doesn't validate rhetoric about Apple being "evil" or "anti-developer" etc.

WebKit is also used in lots of other applications that are not browsers, but may be getting untrusted content from the network, or that may be rendering complex content but need total responsiveness. For example, Mail, iChat, Adium, Colloquy, lots of other chat clients on Mac too.
While it sucks when times are tough, if you want to develop for a new platform to make money, then make and take tge time necessary to learn the platform and its tools.

Your complaint here is disingenuous. When you learned to be a Flash developer, did you complain that Macromedia should be ashamed cos they didn't build their tool in HTML & CSS?

If you want to develop for the iPhone, then develop for the iPhone.
How is Flash a big stretch? As a cross-platform framework or as a de facto standard? Basically Flash was quickly becoming de facto way to access features that browsers couldn't access, it was a serious threat to every platform vendor, making OS commodity. HTML5 is catching up with Flash, but ain't yet there + there is inconsistency problem due to multiple browser implementations.
...other things crept to the top of our list and it didn't make sense to invest any resources into that effort. We also realized that it would mostly piss you guys off.

Wait, really? You didn't build something as a demo of your platform because it might piss off your competition and because you don't have time to build something on your platform? How are you getting customers? How are you building a community? Honestly, it comes off that you're blowing smoke.

Memory usage is higher, it generally feels a little bit slower than Safari or Chrome, and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to launch. I skipped Safari entirely when I first got a Mac because I was used to FF on Windows. I tried out Safari after a friend suggested I do so. I've since moved to Chrome as my primary browser, but there was a buggy release (for me) that caused me to switch back for a while. I now try to avoid opening FF unless I absolutely need something in Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar.

One plus to Chrome is the integrated search/URL bar, also. I've gotten so use to using the same bar for both, that I've had issues using other browsers when they try to visit some site that's actually my search query.

Firefox still has a place on my system, but it's definitely not something I want to use all the time.
WebKit actually has multiple different API layers. There is the Cocoa API used by Safari on Mac, a Gtk API, a Qt API, and a special API just for Chrome. WebKit2 is really a peer to all these APIs, although we also hope it can be a tool for building new tightly integrated APIs that support multiprocess and nonblocking operation.

The bottom line is that Chrome and Safari will not be sharing any less WebKit code than before - the WebCore layer, the part that does most of the heavy lifting in rendering Web content - remains unchanged. We may actually have the opportunity to share more code since we'll now be facing many of the same problems.

We also hope the Chrome team someday decides to go more in a WebKit2 direction and do multiprocess inside the WebKit API boundary instead of outside, so they can share more code with other port. But that's up to them, and they already have a lot invested in their current path.
You're making a lot of claims without citations. flyosity's absolutely correct to question them, and if you're serious about what you say, then yes, you are obligated to back them up in some way.
Things I've learned to recruit great hackers
Sure... I've seen that a ton. I've had to resort to writing a bunch of code like that as well.

As an example of what I mean, there are some places where you can simplify by knowing that a relationship is 1:1 instead of 1:n because based on the current schema it's impossible for it not to be 1:1. You don't need an if/then or any logic in your application when you access that field.

This means if you want to make it 1:n you have to change the schema and deal with all of the code that will break due to that change. Once that is done, then your application can input lists of items into the storage.

In the document oriented approach, is seems like you (or any code touching the document type) just start inputting lists. This makes changing the schema a non-issue. It is up to the code pulling data to always assume the data could be null, single or a list of items.

In the couchDB model it seems the schema is implicitly defined by the behavior of the application. I don't really know what that means for the application. I'm sure the tradeoff is worth it in a lot of cases, I'm just saying that this is one of the parts where my imagination is failing me and the unknown-unknowns are great.

It seems like here the skills of writing a great REST API are more relevant than traditional data modeling skills.

To be fair, the part of Emacs implemented in Lisp looks nothing like poetry. I wouldn't qualify it as ``utter crap'' but it's a lot messier than I thought. Some of the default packages looks like straight C code translated verbatim to Lisp.

My take is that even if it's easier to screw things up in C, that doesn't mean that if you program in a higher level language, you'd automatically produce elegant code.
Its a stretch to say its a framework, or at least it is in the context in which I meant framework. But I didn't make that clear and it seems to be too late now. For the record I think crossplatform application frameworks are unlikely to ever become de facto standards because they generally use a subset of features of the platform and non-native widgets. In fact that's Gruber's problem with them in the article - but he ignores that that should make them nothing for Apple to fear.

Not sure why this is getting upvoted (and the grandparent downvoted), because it is completely besides the point. I'm always amazed when any of my code runs, but the more so when I write C. Apple is strangely not supporting any modern language that reduces the chance of subtle and hard-to-fund bugs.

This is what happens when you let Java people write apps for your platform
Apple should filter by quality, not by what language/technology was used to make the app.

It makes more sense to reject Fart apps -- or least the 100th Fart app. It does not make sense to reject apps written in Python or Clojure, for example.

To put it another way: they are disproportionately turning away the better quality devs, not the lower quality ones.
Agriculture has only existed for 10,000 years or so, which is tiny on the scale of human evolution. There are undoubtedly some adaptations that have arisen since then, but genetically we'd be practically identical to humans before then which had millions of years to evolve in an environment where hunting and meat necessarily were the bulk of the diet. (The original versions of plants we eat - evolved for birds and insects - just were not very nourishing before thousands of years of human selection.)

Apple has easy refunds for at least 30 days on all apps you buy, the developer has no involvement in it at all. It just shows up as a negative sale on their daily reports.

Also, although Apple has said that they'll reserve the right to take their 30% cut from the developer, I haven't heard of them actually doing it. They certainly don't do it to us.

Don't undersell yourself! I learnt early on that charging the right price does wonders for bringing in better customers and better work.

I think this question is probably misframed. The first-order effects of sleep deprivation are comparable to alcohol intoxication. In so far as that is the case, a more accurate model for a post-partum mother's mood after a night up is that she's disinhibited. Another model might be the moderately true reality that she just fulfilled her role as she believes it to be: to stay up with that crying baby when needed. Encouraging sleep-deprived young mothers to stay up sounds like uniquely bad advice. There are plenty of pathological mood disorders where part of the syndrome includes periods of elevated mood. That doesn't make it less pathological.

Wonder why they didn't treat hierarchical labels by attaching labels to labels. That way you can have "Family/Kids" and "CuteStuff/Kids" refer to the same "Kids", you wouldn't need to always type out the hierarchy and can just say "Kids" to have an email accessible under both the hierarchies.
I state none of this. Finnish is difficult to teach, not difficult to learn. My point was that Finnish is easy to acquire, or at least not significantly more difficult than other languages, but courses that teach Finnish do a worse job at it than those for most languages because the abstractions they use to explain grammar do not fit the language. Finnish does not have more linguistic tools than other languages (it has, arguably, less) and Finns are not more language-focused than other cultures, though there is a strong focus on foreign language teaching in Finnish schools (as there is in almost every country with a small population and a country-specific language).

There is a native interface for Android. While it isn't intended to be used for GUI development, maybe it is doable? I could imagine it could work like PhoneGap, except for C: write a wrapper in Java that exposes the required methods to C, then write your app in C.
