Upgrade to PB 2.0beta/gcc 3.1beta and see if that helps. :-)
Um, I'm not sure this would solve the problem completely.
It would be very nice if instead of having to compile Objective-C
code, one could write the code in an interpreted language instead. Of
course a good integration between such a language and ObjC should
exist.
One thought that comes to mind is to use the Java Beanshell or
JavaScript to write (portions of) the code. They both have very good
interface to Java, so they can be used to access the Cocoa libraries.
In the old NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP days Tip Top Software had a bridge
between Tcl, and perhaps other languages I'm not sure, and the
Objective-C libraries.
