Indeed, there's an ongoing effort called GNUStep which tries to build a
compatible API, and Obj-C bindings for several toolkits, including GTK+. I'=
ve
only started playing with obj-c for a while, but it looks very good.
When I find a project that I want to program using the OOP paradigm, I'm
sure Obj-C will be my language of choice.
In Obj-C, all OO features are totally orthogonal to the C language, it's
very clear where you are using objects and where you are not, since the
syntax differs completely from normal C code. On the other hand, C++
seems to me like a patch on top of C. IMO it's a pity that Obj-C is not
used more widely, seems to be used only in OS X while the rest of the
world keeps coding in C++ and that abomination called Java. I never
understood what's so hot about Java, well yes, compile once, debug
anywhere, yeah right. Looks like an idiot proof C++ dialect to me, but
that's just my opinion, which is probably heavily biased, since when I
learned C I had been progamming in mc68k assembly for 5 years, so my
brain tends to build code structures in that way, which is compatible
with C, but not with java/c++.
Back in the C++ vs C subject, there's also this faked Stroustrup
interview that appeared some years ago. I've wondered many times if it
wasn't real after all. I mean, a lot of things said there make sense ;-)
Cheers,
