Hello, Sorry for this question that perhaps doesn't really suit to the debian-mailing list. But If someone has some advice, I would be great.
I want to write a mathematical program (so no plateform dependencies) which used to be in Fortran 90. I want to switch to a real language. One of my choice is Objective-C. I mainly developp under Linux and MacOsX, and my program will finally run under a SGI Octane with IRIX 6.5. I have some basic questions : -On Objective-C 1) Is this language growing or dying ? 2) Is it easy to write some code in Objective-C that talk to other programs written in C and C++ ? -On the Free Objective-C compiler from Gcc. 1) Will it be available on IRIX (Does gcc will compile easily) ? 2) Is this compiler good ? -On Objective-C and GTK 1) Is the GTK libraries for Objective-C good, and is the project still alive ? Thank you for your help on any of these questions Francois
