Nice! Obj-C is a very neat language. I really love it, partially
because it's dynamically typed, but also because it has a very nice
syntax. Much, much nicer than C++ (or Java).

have been nicer with its terms... (I mean, up until recently, you
can't even discuss with other companies' iPhone developers.)
