>Obj-C assumes that it can offload the boring tasks to the programmer because such was the fashion in the 70s and 80s. You seem to forget that it was created in the 80s. You also seem to forget that it was picked in part because of it's performance characteristics, including the ability to drop down to pure C, for stuff like OpenGL etc. In general, your complain is an repeat of "it's not high level enough as the languages I normally use".
