Or Objective-C? I really don't see why so many people are ignoring this
language, but it allows smalltalk-style (ie. real) object-oriented programming
which C++ simply can't offer. Has anyone played with the GNU version? Doesn't
stepstone still own the objective-c lib? Or is there a GNU objective-c lib
as well?
