It's just that I can't help thinking about all of the comments that we see on this list from people coming from Java or some other language where header files aren't necessary, or which don't have pointers. They are confused by these things, and having to learn that at the same time as learning Cocoa itself makes for a very steep learning curve.

Indeed.

I was one of the Java people you referred to. Nowadays, my day-time job is game programming in C and I dabble on Objective-C/Cocoa when time permits, so I think I've now gotten used to header files and pointers. But those things still feel to me as nothing more than fossils.

Yepp - C was the first language I learned. So quite used to it as well. But still - header files are fossils. Totally agree.

cheers
