It's a very polarizing language. For a number of developers coding in this language is an exercise in masochism. So they stay away from it and go do more pleasant things.
Now if we can get out of this painful legacy dependency and something like WebAssemby gains some maturity (or Dart etc...) so we can code web apps in something more pleasant this attitude may change.
I was working on an integration in dev on that day and suddenly stuff started breaking in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
ApplicationDelegate.shared.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
This is the "hook" for the Facebook SDK that the Facebook SDK docs tell you to put in. It definitely sends an event back to Facebook about application start
Well played.
There is method to the madness.

In a real shooting insurrection your pea shooters would not stand any chance against police, their swat teams and the national guard.
But of course they want you to keep up the fantasy.
The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, "I've got responsibilities."
