Adobe has a new name for an old friend, its called “Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation”.

from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/abansod_iphone.html

Wow, to think I have been compiling code for the last 20 years or so and I instead could have been “ahead of time” compiling it. 20 years wasted…..

And while I am learning ObjectiveC/ObjectiveC++….

This guy eloquently enumerates some reasons I like C++.
Although I do imagine once I get a C++0x compiler, I will like it the most..
D has a lot of promise also…..

Currently learning ObjectiveC/ObjectiveC++

My new employer bought me a shiny new 17″ MacBook Pro.
Currently developing an iPad application.
Needless to say, my biggest obstacles are ObjectiveC/ObjectiveC++.
I am guessing the best way to learn would be re-implementing Orkid’s C++ static introspection/reflection system in terms of ObjectiveC++ to see what ObjectiveC++ actually buys me in dynamic features.
Shame It wont be portable to MSVC++.
