I didn't know that, thanks; I would have thought it was more C-like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-C#Dynamic_typing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-C#Dynamic_typing And it seems that Objective-C performance is much closer to C than to python. http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/macosx-dev/2000-May/014124.html http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/archive/macosx-dev/2000-May... That's... a pretty cool combination.

It still makes me a little sad that C++ won out as the default "object oriented extension for C."

  Maybe Apple will own the next disruptive platform (iPhone) and objective-C will have its day after all. BTW: "OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. It can be done in Smalltalk and in LISP. There are possibly other systems in which this is possible, but I'm not aware of them." http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~ram/pub/pub_jf47ht81Ht/doc_kay_oop_en http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~ram/pub/pub_jf47ht81Ht/doc_kay...
