This is a discussion on theory and not a request for any practical help. Please also be advised I am not trying to bash Cocoa or Objective-C; I am simply curious why the designers of same built the language the way they did. Understanding theory can sometimes geometrically improve performance.

  Ominous, but okay. :-)

My question is, if this is such a necessary thing, why didn't the designers simply design the compiler to auto-generate setter and getter functions as per the requisite style in the first place?


  They did. In Objective-C 2.0, released with Leopard.
