I know what language I'm typing in, so I'm not going to confuse [NSThing new] with "new CPlusPlusClass". Even if I did lose my mind and not understand what I'm typing, the compiler would point out my mistake. Completely agree. With me or with the message I replied to, but you didn't quote? When I see [foo new] I think C++. Why? That's not C++ syntax. I recently had a case where I needed alloc alone and init’ed the object later. Yes, and that's not a place where you'd use new, obviously. new is a handy shortcut, not a replacement for all version of alloc/init*.
