Facebook iOS app uses 18,000 classes, 429 coders.

Interesting analysis of Facebook's iOS app here: [quellish - How on Earth the Facebook iOS Application is so large](http://quellish.tumblr.com/post/126712999812/how-on-earth-the-facebook-ios-application-is-so). He wonder's why it's so large and found that it uses 18,000 classes. Facebook gave a presentation (since deleted from slideshare), apparently they used 429 coders to write the App and complained that "iOS can’t handle our scale". This started a lively conversation on reddit: [Facebook Engineer: iOS Can't Handle Our Scale : programming](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3m5n2n/facebook\_engineer\_ios\_cant\_handle\_our\_scale/)

which is kinda ironic, seeing how many Farcebook users have NO class.

The more the better... isn't it?
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You do need to have an interface to the interface that interfaces with all the other interfaces.

Easy. Each developer uses their own favourite class libraries. X|
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

I take it that's just the abstract version?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
