Thank you Josh for sharing this. I remember fondly reading Brad Cox's book while i was still at University. The concept of Soft-ICs, reusable software components, won me over for Objective-C. So even a long time before starting to contributing to GNUstep I learned and liked the language. Thank you Brad for giving it to us!
