I think Jose may have meant something along the lines of, say, the
difference between a standard UNIX OS interface and the NEXTSTEP interface.
So instead of doing something like:
int fd = open(....);
write(fd, *bufp, count);
You would do . . .
File *fileObjp = directoryObj->open(...);
fileObjp->write(*bufp, count);
While this might be nice I don't think its a good idea for Palm at this
time. The thing is that it is easy enough for developers to create these
sorts of abstractions on top of the core, procedure-oriented API. Given
that developers can do this themselves I would have to say that this sort
of massive reworking of the SDK has to be a lower priority item than all
the other stuff Palm has on its plate . . .
