Doesn't objective C essentially require a runtime to provide a lot of the features of the language? If it does (as I suspect) then it is totally unsiatable for kernel development. That and object oriented languages in general are badly designed and a bad idea. Having not used objective C I have no idea if it qualifies as badly designed or not. Certainly C++ and java are both very badly designed. Besides the kernel does a wonderful job doing object oriented design where apropriate using C without any of the stupidities added by the common OO languages. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
