Just a quick question: Why do you think the syntax is alien?

The use of ['s mainly turns my stomach. And I bet people who don't actually have to learn Obj-C are put off by them too. Using a function style (C style) would make Obj-C more likely to be given a chance by busy programmers.

When I first read about objective-c, the ['s bothered me. When I actually started writing objective-c, I found it didn't bother me at all.
