TheRaven64's Journal: Why I like Objective-C

Today, I wrote some code that enumerates, at run-time, all of the classes which conform to a particular protocol (that's implement a given interface, for any Java programmers) and allows the user to select one.

This is why I like Objective-C, and why using languages like C++ feels so painful in comparison. Oh, and for reference, enumerating the classes was around half a dozen lines. Sure, this kind of thing is possible in C++, but only if you build a huge amount of extra stuff on top.
