Re: An interesting link

This is *very* interesting reading and confirms what I have suspected
ever since I began using Cocoa and Objective-C: that Java owes a very
large debt to NeXTSTEP.  That article mentions a couple of the obvious
things--the "wrapper" classes for primitives, the interface/protocol
concept, etc.--but I've noticed *tons* of other things.  I think Java's
collection classes, the "JavaBean" concept (which is analogous to
Cocoa's key-value coding), and the reflection/introspection API, among
other things, are strongly reminiscent of elements of Cocoa.
