Hi,
I'm wondering if there's a more suitable place to ask about/
contribute to the future of Objective-C. I am particularly
interested in giving the language a decent type system. At the
moment I feel that it's type system is far too week for the jobs that
we are trying to do with it when writing Cocoa apps. We very rarely
need hardware access or in fact any low level access of any kind, and
as such, I suspect that a much stronger type system could be used.
The most basic extension of the type system I can think of is to
allow something akin to generics, or ADTs to allow us to specify such
things as what type of object an array contains.
So questions here really are (a) is there a more appropriate place to
post this, (b) opinions on Objective-C's type system.
Bob
