Does anyone know if there is an Objective-C 3.0 in the works?

I appreciate any info. Thanks so much.

. here was a thread interested in an obj'c 3.0:

http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/10/25/objective-c-30/

. Nu is a version of obj'c reverting to simple lisp-like syntax .

http://programming.nu/

"(

Nu is implemented in Objective-C

and is designed to take full advantange of the Objective-C runtime.

Nu code can fully interoperate with code written in Objective-C;

)

. the language I'm designing, adda,

http://amerdreamdocs.blogspot.com/search/label/adda

will include objective-c's semantics

but will be simpler, without hanging onto c or smalltalk syntax .

10.19: pos.adda/plain old c -centric:

. if thinking how to master obj'c,

keep in mind that it's better to stay in c when possible,

pos:

. adda wants to be for c

what qt is for c++ .

10.19: adda/dynamic without vm:

. with the libffi

-- a portable foreign function interface library --

. it could be possible to minimize dependency on addm

by providing either a calculator;

or, for thick code,

do a compilation with ada-class safety checks

and then call out to what the system just compiled .

10.23: pos.adda/plain old C:

. of course you should you minimize the use of obj'c,

(because there will be other platforms)

but esp'ly minimize the use of apple-obj'c blocks

to just places in obj'c where they are required:

in the new grand central system for threading .

(blocks are complicated)

. it's not easy dev'ing for older versions of mac .
