I guess if i could just summarize my thoughts on the subject, objective-c has a method of inheritance, and a method not entirely unlike type classes, this has largely been relegated to, a matter of extension, and a matter of source code organization, it has largely been ignored as a matter of composition for the construction of modular systems of various dimensions (much to my discontent). in such systems locality of reference becomes a concern, because type classes are often distributed across modules, of which there are many. the hope is that by allowing the composition to achieve a minima this distribution will be manageable. _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
