"To begin with, Objective-C 3.0 would have made header files entirely optional, and if you didn’t provide one, they’d be automatically generated from the implementation file. Just write your *.m files and save."

@akosma

I still use Objective-C daily in my #NeoFinder, and even after all these years, I haven't found a good reason to throw it all away for much slower compile times and lots of interoperability problems, combined with almost no advantages at all...

@akosma one of the two things I miss the most about objective C are the header files particularly as they evolved in objc 2

@akosma Cocoa Bindings didn’t make it to iOS, presumably because of performance problems. What if you could bind to a “firstName” and it didn’t matter if it’s via a method, function, or ivar (D has this). In the IB UI, it says “bound to ivar”, so you know it works at design-time and also compile-time. Go through all of AppKit and change the runtime duck typing to compile-time duck typing.
