Easier yes, faster no. I know ObjC very well. If you
program on a MacOSX computer with the GNUstep
libraries, the overhead is HUGE. Decided language is
C. After I get it somewhat stable I will be using
little peephole tricks to make it faster, with asm
most likely. After I get it stable of course. --David
