I recently considered C++ templates for coding Altivec algorithms.
I would much rather dynamically load newly complied sources of ObjC
written by ObjC!!!
Levering the unique and well developed paradigms of Cocoa / ObjC should
be our goal, not importing language-specific constructs from Java or
C++.
I vote to keep Obj-C simple, clean and dynamic.

As another question, who are the "they" that decide what is in
Objective-C/C++ and where can "they" be found.

You can pull it up by searching for "ObjC Wish List" on
http://cocoa.mamasam.com.

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.
