Handful of Nothing

Well, I forgot to talk about the best thing that happened in Apple’s developers gathering. After all is a “developer’s” meeting right? So… The announced the new X-code, version 3 that at least in the screenshots do some pretty cute things with your code, and has some very cuty error dialogs. Not sure how useful is that, but for a wannabe developer like me it sure looks way more attractive than emacs or vim. (kidding, I’m using textmate right now for coding - great app ).

But What really got me whas: The x-ray debugger with the garage-band like interface. I’m really looking forward to use it. Nice to see some real UI love for such developer-oriented software. Developer do like nicely designed things. Other feature that I don’t know yet how to absorb is : Objective-C 2.0 with garbage collection. Please, I need more details on that, mainly performance details. Anyways, nice touch to really bring more developers onboard without letting them code using those awful java toolkits.
