I know Apple hosts an "ObjC language" list that might be more
appropriate for (part of) this topic, but I'd be more curious to
hear the perspective of (assumedly less Apple-orbiting)
GNUsteppers. And I guess I'm wondering whether there's anything
the open source community can do about these issues, since Apple
seems not to be motivated, and Sun, who helped bring OpenStep about
in the first place and aren't always as dumb as they look ;), seems
to be caffeinated, dripped, and filtered out of the picture.
Though I guess an updated OpenStep standard without Apple following
it would be useless.. ;(
Well, as you say, the objc mailinglist would be the place to discuss
this kind of questions. I believe most people interested in this
language are subscribed to this list anyway.
Having a real ObjC language and runtime standard would IMO be a
Really Good Thing, but this should not be tied to OpenStep or any
other highlevel API. Without such a standard we won't ever see other
ObjC compilers than gcc, I am afraid.
My $0.02...
