I'm a lurker. I play with ObjC now and then again and have toyed with 
using it on our dedicated processing machines. Though the Gnustep group 
seems to be focused on building an objc desktop environment, I benefit 
in a side-affect way because of the great work they do in providing a 
good base library.

So my question for you is, what do your efforts mean for me as a simple 
application programmer? I abhor C++ the language (some of the semantic 
compiler improvements such as declare variables anywhere are nice). Do I 
get to look forward to C++ idioms infecting the base library?
