Re: Apple should get behind Cocoa Java



Delegation is distinct from interfaces & far more powerful. It is part of the runtime as you mentioned, but Cocoa==Obj-C like JavaVM==Java. Java actually took the concept of interfaces from Objective-C where they are called protocols.

I never said that delegation and interfaces are the same thing. I said that delegation can be implemented using interfaces.

IMHO, Interfaces are a poor way to implement delegation; once fixed they cannot be easily extended without breaking client code.
