I am currently a c# developer(one year’s working experience with bachelor degree in china), now there is another job opportunity as an objective c engineer and i am kind of interested in that position. but what bothers me is the future of objective c, is it a dying language living in the shadow of c++, java and c#? or it is a good language to stick to?
thanks.

On the Mac it’s definitely alive and kicking. Also the IPhone. So if you like working on those environments and systems then go for it.
As far as everywhere else it hasn’t really caught on much that I’m aware of. Not to say that it couldn’t though. Lots of good languages catch on relatively late, like erlang for instance, so I wouldn’t count Objective-C out.
Not to mention the value of learning a new language and stretching yourself.
So, if you are asking will this help further my career? then one answer is yes learning something new can be of benefit to a beginning programmer.
If you are asking will experience with Objective-C itself be marketable? then the answer is yes if you want to work in the World of Apple software.
