Title
Body
I've become very comfortable in the world of pointer-free, garbage-collected programming languages. Now I have to write a small Mac component. I've been learning Objective-C, but as I confront the possibility of dangling pointers and the need to manage retain counts, I feel disheartened. I know that Objective-C now has garbage collection but this only works with Leopard. My component must work with Tiger, too. I need to access some Cocoa libraries not available to Java, so that rules out my usual weapon of choice. What are my alternatives? Especially with no explicit pointers and automatic garbage collection.
