But yeah, there will always be some level of disconnect. Unless... maybe Ruby 2.0's named parameters will help. Ohman, another one? :)

But yeah, there will always be some level of disconnect. Unless… maybe Ruby 2.0’s named parameters will help.

You can paper over it with dictionary-style name/value mapping, etc., but it'll never be as good as the original. That's why I'm off designing a new dynamic language that exactly matches Objective-C's syntax & general semantics... ;-) I think there’s always going to be a disconnect between non-Objective-C interfaces to Cocoa for exactly this reason (the message-passing syntax).
