I think many of the additions in Object-C 2.0 and the addition of
garbage collection is *precisely* a case of changing Cocoa to resemble
other platforms (i.e. Java). Personally I don't find any of the new
features all that compelling, though they are no doubt worthwhile for
many. Since veteran Cocoa programmers have managed fine without any of
these for a long time, I can only deduce that these changes were added
by Apple for the express purpose of lowering the barriers to entry for
programmers coming from a Java or .NET background.
