Supposedly for a better portability, which is one big roaring BS, with the
plethora of environments GCC happily works in.
I suspect the real reason was that someone got infatuated by the Java
salestalk (or perhaps presumed customers are, to the point they would buy
rather a Jaba-based crap than an ObjC-based miracle: that one might, quite
sadly, be even a very reasonable market estimation :((().
Triple alas for us programmers though: there's not *one* thing Java can do
and ObjC can't (well, not literally, but they all can be very easily
worked around). OTOH, there is a number of things which are child's play
in ObjC whilst Java has not the slightest hope of doing anything remotely
similar -- say, categories or message forwarding.
