Object Oriented API

Ok, /prog/.

Suppose you are a super-programming hero.

You are writing a kernel from scratch. And now you have the opportunity to forge a brand new sandard library for your operating system, since you hated for years all that nasty programming stuff out there.

You may use C for your library, but you'd like to use an object oriented language. C++? Cool story, if you want to waste time being overwhelmed by compiling errors and getting a huge shit.

What now? What about Objective-C?

it's sad that there isn't much work being done with languages that build to robust, reliable machine code. besides C and C++, you've got Pascal sorta waddling along, D trying to act relevant, and perhaps LLVM figuring out a cross-platform solution. meanwhile you've got an assload of toy languages popping up every few minutes.

anytime someone pipes in that there should be something better than C/C++, all the lobsters piss all over the independent thinker with comments such as "nothing really provides a worthwhile solution to C/C++".
