Ahem, is this Java the language that a certain, well-known service provider 
is getting screwed over hard currently, because they forgot to read the 
fineprint in the declaration of freedom? And this Objective C, isn't this 
the language that GCC had support for since before it properly supported 
C++, and that on a multitude of targets?

I'm probably just confusedly feeding flames here, but I like it snug and 
warm. (:
