With the plethora of "Switchers" coming from C/C++/(even Java) land (including myself), I'm starting to get a little sick and tired of having the faint feeling that Objective-C is being rammed down my throat at every turn just to have access to fairly critical / important APIs that are only found in Cocoa.

As a non-switcher, I am also sick and tired. Of important APIs that *aren't* available as part of Cocoa.


I think you may be under a slight misunderstanding: Cocoa is an ObjC API. You can't call it without using ObjC, because it uses language constructs that depend on the OO nature of ObjC. The java version of Cocoa (which now seems to be deprecated) notwithstanding.

If you want to use a decent API, then learn an OO language, please. Otherwise you'll get stuck with with the primitive APIs that are available for incomplete OO languages.
