And here I thought you were putting stuff in square brackets
just to make fun of Objective C.
It had been about a decade since I'd looked at Mac development
environments. Like others, I thought writing iPhone apps might
be fun and profitable. Looking at sample code made my head hurt
in the same way that looking at C++ code a decade ago made my
head hurt. ("You think the computer will always give you more
memory when you want it, and you're not coding for the exception?")
I guess I'd need to read a few books before it would start to
make sense.

shoot the people responsible for Objective-C.
Funny, I know more people who want to shoot the people responsible
for C++.
