That being said, I still believe WO should go the Java way with
collections :). I know the foundation classes rulezinate and
roxxxorz, but we're using the language, so we should be embracing it
and it's conventions - besides, proprietary stuff scares potential
users away. I now try to use the standard java collections where
possible, and they're not so bad once you get used to them.
You can argue about this stuff until you're blue in the face... fact
is all "efforts" to "fix" using java collections only break old code
and make it harder to read and debug. It's not really helpful to have
an API that half uses java collections, half NSArray. It's also not
useful to redo NS* as interfaces as it will break a ton of code for no
gain whatsoever.
Imagine having NSList and NSMutableList which extend List! Wow, great
move! Except that these would still be mutable, still feel weird. The
real failure was made 8 years ago during the java-only conversion,
there is nothing reasonable one can do now to fix it.
One *could* try to make less of a mess with more thinking, though.
Cheers, Anjo
