I wrote a lot of code in Obj C pre 2.0 and remember always wishing for gc. That's good they put it in. There always seem to be odd cases of retain cycles in non trivial apps. So that's good.

But @synthesize? Arrgh! When will language designers learn?

We don't need getters and setters, we don't need ways to speed up the writing of them.

I wonder what Brad thought of that?
