Well, I guess that was long overdue. Anyway, another nice step to bring Objective-C forward.

It seems to develop into a nice combination of low-level, high-performance C and a pretty straightforward, dynamic, object system. In short, I vastly prefer its object system to C++, because it reasonably trades some performance for greater dynamisms and an easier syntax.

It'll be interesting how Objective-C will develop.

I completely agree, it's great to see that the language continues to move forward and advance in it's OO design. It's especially nice that these forward steps do not hinder or reduce Obj-C's low-level functionality, leaving available the performance gains from it's use.
Exactly, gcd could have been objc but it is just a c extension!!
