I hate to chime in with a 'me-too' but I have spent some time playing with WebObjects 5 EOF stuff, and I can say that I can see a LOT of reasons why a ObjC EOF would absolutely ROCK!

What I don't get is the arguments/discussion on drivers, etc. Why not have an ODBC EOF driver and only worry about the DB's having ODBC support? The JDBC for WO 5 works fine (at least with OpenBase).

If that's the case there is nothing standing in the way, and the functionality would be a great asset.

It would be a tremendous shame to let such a kick ass technology die off.

No, EOF is vital. ObjC is not.

So you disagree with Steve Jobs' statement:
"Objective-C is the native language of MacOS X."

To that end, doesn't it mean that having a tool available IN that
native language is important?

ObjC is the core of OSX. EOF is not a part of the core of OSX.

But it should be.
