Objective Modula-2 definition
language (Or "ObjM2") An extension to
Modula-2 for
Cocoa and
GNUstep software development. Objective Modula-2 follows the
Objective-C object model and retains the bracketed
Smalltalk message passing syntax used in Objective-C. Classes written in ObjM2 can be used within ObjC and vice versa. ObjM2 also retains Modula-2's
data encapsulation features, namely
nested modules with explicit
import and export lists. Due to the strict
type checking in Modula-2, ObjM2 can be considered a much safer programming language than is ObjC, yet losing none of the capabilities of ObjC.
