I just went to a lunch-time presentation about developing an iPhone
app. The only real problem I had was that the presenter really only
knew Java (self-admitted), and any aspect of Objective C that wasn't
Java-like confused him (he really did ask the audience if ".h" include
files were part of C or not because he did *not* know the difference
between C and Objective C).
I guess it must be a whiz-bang development environment if someone who
just doesn't know the language can write apps in it that are available
for sale right now.
He did say one thing that illuminated much for me - how many things
are labelled "NS" because they came from NeXTStep. The rest of the
room remained in the dark, but the light came on over my head.
It makes me want to go home and fire up my NeXT cube.

Yeah, but you have to use that horrid mess called
Objective-C to use
said framework.
Beats the pants off C++. Which,
all-in-all, makes said framework useless crap.
I want to shoot the people responsible for Objective-C.
Any -specific- objections to the language?
