sure. my only complaint is the lack of namespaces. and maybe missing
class variables, you have to use a static c thing for that.
not to mention the next foundation stuff. it's possible to write high
level portable code using gnustep on linux and cocoa on mac os x. i
just spent days of building an autoconf/automake build system that
runs both on gnustep and cocoa (avoiding gnustep-make but getting some
vars/paths out of it), had to steal some objc compiler/runtime
detection macros from different places...
but we are running straight OT now...
bests,
martin
