Of course on Mac OS X, Objective-C is the preferred language, so I've had a bit of experience using it. Once you grok the fullness of its message-passing architecture, it really makes a lot of sense and is, to me at least, clearer and simpler than C++. It does away with a lot of the stuff that makes C+ + unwieldy (like multiple inheritance). For a project such as gEDA, though, the language choice is probably dictated by the language used by the GUI toolkit. -a _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
