Does any one knows what happend with such an atempt?
Apple rightly decided that this didn't make any sense to spend their
precious development resources on. Anybody who refuses to use
Objective-C because of the syntax probably also has bigger problems
with the language, of which the syntax is only the first level.
Personally, while I have my wish-list (like everyone else) I'd be
very happy if Apple took an extremely conservative approach to
changing the Objective-C language. It's an exceptionally nice
language as it is right now, and I don't want to see it change for
the worse.
I agree wholeheartedly.
In addition, there are bindings to Cocoa for Java, Perl, Python,
AppleScript, JavaScript and whatnot, so you should certainly be able
to write programs in the syntax your prefer (someone might even come
up with a binding for the GNU lisp dialect that is used in GNUStep).
You may be miss undestand me; I had been developing in ObjC since NeXT
2.x (long ago) and I love it.
I was just wandering becouse on those times, when OSX was just a dream,
I wrote some libraries playing with the new resources (in particular
using the new sintaxis). So it would be nice just to bring them,
compile and run... but I think I will have to rewrite them all from
skratch.
On the other hand, I am not so sure if having a compiled Java-style
lenguage will be a waste of time; that may bring more developers to the
unsupported Cocoa/EO development, the best from both worlds!
