Is Lisp the language that's all about data comparisons, or is that Prolog?

So is Objective-C more comparable to C++ (both direct off-shoots of C), or is it more comparable to Java (which was partly inspired by ObjC)? I guess comparable means the level of "advancedness" as a language, I know that's a really vague and lovely metric so just answer this in whichever way you feel is best.

There are cases where you need Weak references instead of Strong references, but usually when you create instance variables you just declare them as Strong. It's not 100% automatic. it's not actually garbage collection, but the developer does minimal work because of it so it's sort of like GC.

I guess ARC is neat but its principles are really only applicable to the reference counting nature of ObjC. And there really aren't any major manual memory managed languages left except for C and C-based languages.

Is Flutter any good for making mobile apps? Only saw YOSPOS making fun of Dart 2
