Objective-C!

I fully expect this thread to get 0 real replies, but:

Anyone up for an ObjC discussion? Anyone else excited about GC coming in 10.5? Some of the new features in ObjC2 (properties, etc) look pretty cool. Thoughts?

Named parameters are something I'd quite like to see in other languages, like in C++ for instance. Too bad that C++'s model of "no authoritative prototype except for parameter types and their ordering, and that's only for mangling's sake" doesn't fit well with this.

Named parameters were emulated, to a degree, on the Amiga with the godawful contraption known as tag lists. Thankfully that's no longer a viable proposition with today's ABIs particularly with regard to stdarg.h .
