macOS

Developers should learn macOS for building native applications for Apple devices, using development tools like Xcode, and for its Unix-like environment that supports command-line workflows and scripting

Pros

  • +It is essential for iOS and macOS app development, as well as for cross-platform development targeting Apple platforms
  • +Related to: xcode, swift

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

These tools serve different purposes. HMAC is a concept while macOS is a platform. We picked HMAC based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.

🧊
The Bottom Line
HMAC wins

Based on overall popularity. HMAC is more widely used, but macOS excels in its own space.
