| Nov 3, 2011 at 18:32 | comment | added | Per Johansson | Well, it probably does qualify as a bit mind-bending, but I like it. It might help if you realize [foo bar] is just syntactic sugar for objc_sendMsg(foo, "bar"); which in turn looks up the function pointer (it's a special "bar", not a generic one). Did you realize it's fully duck typed? | |
