Subject: [9fans] OT: New Obj-C runtime
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 08:22:39 -0900 [thread overview]

Off-topic, as always, I thought some folks might find this
interesting, if not humorous:

>From the overview:
"The other runtime, currently used by GNUstep, is the GNU runtime. I
have done a little work on this and submitted a patch to allow
prototype-based object orientation to be supported. There are a few
problems with this runtime:
[...]
- It is written in GNU coding style, which hurts my eyes and brain."
"The existing GNU runtime is 11,688 lines.3 The new runtime weights in
at a little over 10% of this size. Note that the size for the new
library includes test cases and examples, while the GNU version does
not. In terms of compiled code, the new library is closer to 15% of
the size of the GNU implementation. The entire library was written by
one person over two days, which should give some idea of its
simplicity."
