Hi everyone. I've been teaching some friends Cocoa and they're really
loving it. About a week ago they asked me why Objective-C source files
end in .m. I remember wondering the same thing at the time I started
with Objective C... I mean, the file extension conventions for C, C++,
Java, and Perl(.c, .cpp, .java, and .pl/.pm) are all fairly obvious.
.m however makes very little sense. Regardless, I couldn't give my
friends an answer, so I just said I'd try to figure it out and let em
know later.
I've looked in Cocoa In a Nutshell (Beam/Davidson), Cocoa Programming
(Anguish, Buck, Yacktman), and Object-Oriented Programming: An
Evolutionary Approach (Cox), not to mention the archives and Google.
No dice. The only thing I can think of is .m is for iMplementation.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
