So what's the reason not to go with one of the object-oriented, C-compatible languages GCC supports, like C++ or Objective-C/C++? (Objective-C has native reflection capabilities fwiw.) Personally I disliked those trivial mini init functions in the initial 2/4 series, too, but I don't really mind an imperative approach either.
