Personally, I feel that given all the improvements (and yes there

(e.g. if implementing a new open source WO).
I quite like Objective-C as a language. I much prefer it to
Java. That said, moving WO back to Obj-C is nothing something I
would be in favour of. There are just too many 3rd party
libraries in Java.
And how would you react if I we take into account that:
- most of us are more productive in ObjC
- there are so many new cocoa technologies that we could use
(bindings, core graphics, ...)
Objective-C is great, no doubt. I prefer it... but...
- many of us have large volumes of ObjC code
I'm afraid you're in the minority there. However, you could always
look at GNUstepWeb. A WO 4.5 clone afaik.
Still preferring Java?
Would prefer the choice - not one or the other...
Anyway, all of this chatter is pointless unless WO *becomes* open-
source. Back to work ;-)
