An open source SourceListView control for OSX, which is offered for free with a very liberal license. I have been meaning to learn to teach myself how to write OSX cocoa-based applications. When I finally get off of my lazy, procrastinating ass I am definitely going to consider using this control. I can already see many areas where such a control would be highly beneficial. In fact, the release of this control may even motivate me to finally learn a little OSX programming. (via)

objective-c makes me want to stab someone.
I hear a lot of complaints about Objective-C. What makes it so evil or annoying?
The syntax can be a bit rough on people moving from the C++/Java world and the message oriented architecture and reference counted objects are difficult concepts to accept at first. Once you get through the learning curve Objective-C is kind of cool. It is nice to be able to extend the built in classes with your own methods and being able to hook into existing objects without changing a single line of code can be a life saver. That said, at the end of the day I find myself wondering how much that freedom is actually costing me in terms of speed and if I wouldn’t keep more of my sanity by using Cocoa for Java.
