I'm not sure if I'm the only one but the syntax seems totally greek to me.... granted i've only programmed in java, javascript, c, c++, ruby and written syntax structures in lex and yacc. But I see there might be some method behind the madness: Take [myArray insertObject:anObj atIndex:0], it basically Forces you to adequately describe you functions so that the are understandable at every call... trying to prevent lazy programming I suppose. Even still a lighter less foreign syntax would seem to do loads for the first time objective c developer. This was really useful thank you.
