> I doubt Objective C is less verbose or more dynamic than Java Oh, Objective C is certainly more dynamic. It uses a message passing mechanism. You can do this in Objective C without a compile error (note "id" is a generic object type) id anObject = Do some initialization; [anObject passSomeMessage]; The closest in Java would be: Object anObject = new SomeClass(); anObject.callSomeMethod(); Which wouldn't compile. (Please note I haven't used Objective C nor Java in a while. Please excuse any errors.)
