Sony Adopts Objective-C and GNUstep Frameworks
EMB Numbers writes "Sony has revealed that the new SNAP development environment for 'consumer electronics' is based on Objective-C and the open source GNUstep implementation of Apple's Openstep spec. While Apple has continued to update their specification in the form of Cocoa and Mac OS X, GNUstep has preserved the original standard. Anyone familiar with Cocoa Touch and iOS will feel right at home developing for Sony. There may even be some source code compatibility between the platforms. The world continues to chase apple — probably for the better."

They aren't overrated; but they do have plenty of built-in redundancy...
Idjit! That won't compile. Try:
[codeBases allYourAreWithBelongToUs:YES];
I thought I gnu OOP but it was learning Objective-C that really let it sink in.
So I take it you didn't gno OOP?
Fixed that for both of you.
Fingers are overrated.
I typed this faster than you did.

These two quotes just about sum Objective-C:
"Objective-C is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity"
and:
"Those who don't understand Objective-C are condemned to reinvent it, poorly"
