I was always fond of the Objective-C messaging syntax with the colons
in the name.  (Yes, I know it drives some people nutty.)  It allowed
for messages with self-documenting names, though, like
NSMutableDictionary's setObject:forKey:.  Compared to the Java HashMap
put(Object, Object) -- which one is the key and which one is the
value?  I had to look it up repeatedly when learning Java.  My
favorite Objective-C method was in WebObject's Enterprise Objects
Framework: addObject:toBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey: ... lots of
typing, but I knew what it did.
