Apple's Selective Contributions to GCCApple's Selective Contributions to GCCPosted Sep 16, 2010 2:22 UTC (Thu) by ncm (subscriber, #165)Parent article: Apple's Selective Contributions to GCC
I'm finding it really, really hard to care about whether Apple's ObjC changes end up in FSF's, or anybody's, GCC. Is anything useful written in ObjC that runs on something not Apple? If Apple wants to make it easy for developers to code in ObjC, they know what to do; if they don't care, why should we? This just seems entirely intramural.

Well, there's oolite and GNUstep. But not a lot else that I know of.

Well, maybe GNUstep, which is a GNU project, could be considered as useful. And GNUstep runs on a lot of plaforms.

Let's be honest here, who's really using GNUstep for day-to-day computer use?

And perhaps even those people will find a way to continue working if Apple's code is not merged.

I am !
And you could ask on GNUstep mailing lists, you'll find more users there. I'm not sure we need Apple's additions to gcc but some GNUstep developers seem interested.
Apple's Selective Contributions to GCC Posted Sep 16, 2010 15:04 UTC (Thu) by TRS-80 (subscriber, #1804) [Link] SOGo is a quite nice scheduling CalDAV server and webmail/webcalendar client which is written in Objective C that I'm using. It's built on a framework called SOPE, that claims to mix WebObjects with Zope concepts, which sounds like it should induce SAN loss but seems to work OK.
