- I would appreciate if anyone could point out a paper or a discussion which
- argues the merits of dynamic object code loading and runtime type
- identification in GUI appilication kits. What I am wondering is if ObjC
- is inherently better then C++ for building GUI application kits. I would
- hope that the argument would be based on some software engineering
- principles etc of cohesion, coupling etc... I would also suppose that in
- the best case CLOS or Smalltalk-80 would be the ideal but I am mainly
- interested in maintaining some rudiments of runtime efficiency and C
- compatibility.

- I am wondering if it is inherently better to write a GUI application kit
- in C++ or in something like ObjC.
