The Dark Side of Obj-C

To offset the enthusiasm of my earlier posts on Objective-C, here is a list of annoying stuff about Objective-C and Xcode…

  1. Header Files. Really, two files for one class is a pain in neck. I’m seriously tempted to write a tool to read the source files and create the headers for me.
  2. Lack of refactoring support in Xcode.
  3. Remembering to put ‘@’ before NSString literals.

Maybe I’m just grouchy because my neck has been hurting for three days straight.
