- (id)foo tells me that the method returns an object rather than simply performs an action. The article doesn't explain why this makes Objective-C harder or less fun. It reminds me of the anal-retentive complaints from long-time NeXTSt

It's a trade-off, because it's convenient to not have to check that objects are non-nil when you send messages to them. With experience, you learn to deal with code that requires non-nil objects via assertions: NSAssert(arr
