It's just that I can't help thinking about all of the comments that
we see on this list from people coming from Java or some other
language where header files aren't necessary, or which don't have
pointers. They are confused by these things, and having to learn
that at the same time as learning Cocoa itself makes for a very
steep learning curve.
Indeed.
I was one of the Java people you referred to. Nowadays, my day-time
job is game programming in C and I dabble on Objective-C/Cocoa when
time permits, so I think I've now gotten used to header files and
pointers. But those things still feel to me as nothing more than
fossils.
Yepp - C was the first language I learned. So quite used to it as
well. But still - header files are fossils. Totally agree.
