How many people upset over Apple's rules are actually iPhone developers?
hga: I gather that the Gambit-C Scheme community is not happy; they've shipped multiple games and at least one for the iPhone, see "Scheme is also dead on the iPhone" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1253420.Outlawing modern programming language technology (C/C++/Objective C are all old, at base they are '60s to early '70s languages) along with what I'm sure is indeed a lot of awful multi-platform middle-ware can't be good.For people like me who are used more powerful languages, one higher up on the Blub scale (including Lisp at the top, of course :-), this shows either a failure in execution (of the ToS language) or that Jobs doesn't "get it" when it comes to programming.ADDED: (forget this early in the morning while editing this post): this is straight out of Dilbert, Jobs is demanding that i<whatever> programmers to work harder, not smarter.
