This I find amusing. Resource forks are being depreciated for bundles

This issue could be got round if some JAR (Java ARchive) style solution

There really isn't anything to resolve with this.
Fact is, bundles are just directory/file collections, and as such
are compatible across virtually EVERY file system
file extensions as well..
True, other OS's don't use Obj-C for their libs by default, but any
procedural code can be called by Obj-C, and GNU compiler is widely
available.
