Future Objective-C changes


  • Subject: Future Objective-C changes

Is there anywhere to monitor or suggest changes to the Objective-C language? For example, I am interested to know if one day Objective-C classes will support:

a) Namespaces/packages.
b) Generics/parameterized types.
c) Abstract classes, or at least some way to enforce that a class cannot be instantiated directly.
d) Method overloading.

I know that Objective-C++ provides this support but only if you are using C++ classes. I am interested if the above will be supported in "native" Objective-C classes. I know that people will have lots of for-and-against arguments for the above but being a simple programmer some of the above would be very useful.

Thanks, David.
