This already should have happened. Once you get a firm grasp of the
Java Collections API, it's design, intention and power, NSArray and
it's company will make you want to puke. I actually thought that WO
would move in this direction by first making NSArray implement
List, and do all the similar stuff, then depreciate Foundation
collections, and the finally get rid of them. Well, maybe that
still is the intention, but it sure is slow.
The lack of power sucks, but the lack of immutable forms of the List/
Map/Set interfaces in Java is a failure IMO. WO/EOF moving to
straight List/Map/Set would suffer from a loss in clarity as a
result. On the flip side, it would gain the performance and
flexibility of the Java collections APIs, which is a win. I'm
definitely conflicted on the correct answer to this conundrum.
Also, you lose a lot of really nice methods on the immutable ones like
arrayByAddingObject ...
