And while we are on the subject, if Apple can switch from PowerPC

context other than NextStep code. It really irks me to keep having
to remember new syntaxes all the time. After four or five
different languages they all just kind of melt into one big blob in
your brain and you spend twenty minutes getting five minutes worth
of coding to compile. Thanks for letting me rant.
The power of Objective-C is the reason Apple can move from PowerPC to
Intel so seamlessly. People can do Cocoa programming in Java, and by
and large stay away in large numbers; people can do C++ in Carbon,
and they find that it's a lot more work.
And if you find four or five programming languages confusing, keep on
learning them: after you've played with 20 or so, you'll see the
similarities beneath the syntax, and you'll find the syntax less of a
problem. Languages and syntax are the *beginning* of a programmer's
skills, not the end.
