    Nice reading, I am really looking forward to Objective C Support.
    Hopefully the Sdk will be released very soon.

    Awesome work. Jaca is the best. :)

    I hope in a future we also will get ARC.

    A nice article. Raises some interest/motivation to start looking into ObjectiveC. Then again, I am still working with Hollywood and was just thinking about taking up a bit of Free Pascal (which seems nice to me). But having some knowledge in C++ i guess looking into ObjectiveC is rather straighter forward than looking into FP.
    But as said, on first I need to proceed my current Hollywood projects I have started. Maybe in summer.

    Generally nice.
    But why the prefix "OB"?
    Apple still uses the "NS" prefix although they are not on "NextStep". And GNUStep also.
    I think that will mean extra effort when porting Objective-C based software.


    Cheers

    Because I did not want to use NS. Honestly, you can deal with this without even modifying any sources.

    @compatibility_alias ExistingClass OldClass;

    or just do a global search & replace :) Either way it takes close to no time to switch.

    OK, @compatibility_alias might work, but is still additional effort.
    Replacing all prefixes of a source code is not something I would want to do because it diverts the source code too much from the original.
