Yes, that was my conclusion too. Its much cleaner than c++, but its pretty
slow. I'm quite supprised that Apple went for it for DSP code.
There are ways of speeding up the message passing, but the're pretty
ugly, and they dont solve it 100%. My current prefered solution is OO style
C, which is pretty clean, but doesn't give you inheritnace and a few other
things, which would be nice.
