This comes up time and time again -- Why did Apple choose Objective-
C vs. Language X?
That is off topic for cocoa-dev and, thus, not a useful direction
for taking this particular conversation.
Point taken. I apologize for feeding this particular topic.
I believe, however, that there is an on-topic direction within which
to frame this particular discussion that will be helpful to folks
new to the platform and educational to those that may not know, say,
Java.
Specifically -- a programming question. Easily framed.
How would you implement NSUndoManager in Java?
Actually, I think that discussing the details of how to implement X in
Java is also off-topic for this list. Nevertheless, I will point out
that Java has a whole package for managing undos (javax.swing.undo).
But here's the flip-side of your question, which clarifies what I had
been saying in previous messages: what features of NSUndoManager
require Cocoa's native language to be based on C? I'm not familiar
with the details of NSUndoManager (as I said, I only dabble on Cocoa,
so I'm really a noob) but I suppose the extreme dynamism of Obj-C are
required. If that's the case, they could probably be added to any
other language upon which Cocoa might have been based on.
Anyway, I'll stop here.
