If you want to be heard, climb aboard. Let me add another positive response. A FSF library could stimulate the popularity of Objective-C, and get more folks involved in adding features and libraries that folks need and would be easier to support in Objective-C than C++. For example, garbage collection and persistence. Will the FSF version provide something analogous to Stepstone's foundation class library or any of Next's library or will these be add-ons?

For the last few months I've been using both Objective-C on the NeXT and SmallTalk\ObjectWorks on various platforms. My conclusions ? NeXT smokes everyone when it comes to the GUI classes, but is sorely lacking when it comes to data modeling classes (i.e. Set, Bag, SequenceableCollection, Collection, SortedCollection, OrderedCollection, Array, etc. etc. etc....the list is long) like we find in SmallTalk. What I would love to see is equivalents to these on the Obj-C side. FSF seems like the one to do the job :-) -- Ronald Pomeroy Advanced Micro Devices CAM Applications Group rpomeroy@aunext3.amd.com

This library (which is shipped in source form) contains Collection and Array classes... Disclaimer: I get much of my consulting income from Stepstone.
