All apple software use objective c and seems fine.
Run time checking is not unreal. Internet run on that. Ethernet run on that.
Too much error correction like sna and token ring make the network brittle.
You think you help error handling but by enforcing failure you have not decouple the “objects”. By assuming type and minor change the whole thing collapse on you.
It is between ibm network and internet. Or osi vs ietf.
- mpweiher 7y ago> objc - fine People forget this, particularly the ones who claim "this can't possibly work". If that's your position, you are simply wrong. Now which works better in what ways is something we can talk about. > Internet This is another big one people seem to not think about. Kay was thinking about scaling up, or rather about taking an idea that can scale up and then scaling it down. The internet and the WWW clearly demonstrate that you must late-bind. In fact, Allen Wirfs-Brock noted how the Internet is a lot like a huge distributed Smalltalk image: it runs all the time, it's late-bound, it's very stateful and you can't take it down and restart it from scratch.
