hi-

I tend to program using many things. Altivec calls, OpenGL, Quartz and especially ANSI-C pointer syntax for speed. The nice thing about obj-c is that you can have a good OO model infused with a good syntax (ANSI-C) that gets you closer to the metal. In other words: You can make calls to a run time system and at the same time make calls to the address space of your process.

I marvel at the elegance of ANSI-C pointer syntax and at the Obj-C syntax at the same time. To me dealing with Java is a substantial reduction in syntax as well as functionality of what *I* want to write, although the Java juggernaut has a lot of libraries.

thanks!-
