Objective-C meh

Raw

gistfile1.md

Why do we need to tell Objective-C what types of pointer variables something is when it's obvious after we alloc it?

NSFetchedResultsController *aFetchedResultsController = [NSFetchedResultsController alloc]

Shouldn't it be as simple as

aFetchedResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController alloc

And, does anyone else get annoyed with bracketing? Would a hard return and meaningful indenting be useful to anyone?

aFetchedResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController alloc
  initWithFetchRequest: fetchRequest
  managedObjectContext: self.managedObjectContext
  sectionNameKeyPath:   nil 
  cacheName:            @"Root"

I guess I'm just too spoiled and used to high-level programming languages.

aFetchedResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController.alloc().initWithFetchRequest(fetchRequest).managegObjectContext(self.managedObjextContext).sectionNameKeyPath(nil).cacheName(@"Root")
