In considering where Objective-C could go, it's worthwhile to start by understanding the work that's already been done.

Below are a selection of papers from Gilad Bracha's 1990s work on Strongtalk, an extension of Smalltalk (from which Objective-C's design derives) with (among other things), stronger type-safety tooling.

What's interesting (to me, anyway), is that the work done on the Self/Strongtalk VM in the early 90s was actually bought by Sun and became the modern Java VM. When Google got started on their V8 JavaScript runtime, guess who shows up again — Lars Bak, who was the technical lead for both the Strongtalk and HotSpot Java VMs.

If we're going to be talking about how to apply "modern" (1990s!) ideas to Objective-C, we'd be wise to review the considerable work done in considering those sorts of problems in a Smalltalk-derived universe, and lifting whatever good ideas we can, and discarding

	NEW! you can install via cpan: https://metacpan.org/release/PACMAN/Acme-CatFS-0.001

	1. you should install LWP::Simple and Fuse:Simple - use cpan or cpanm
	2. you should configure the local fuse install to run as root or as common user
	3. don't forget 'fusermount -u <mountpoint>' after finish the script

	to install dependencies

	you can use regular cpan OR cpanminus ( http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/App-cpanminus-1.7001/lib/App/cpanminus.pm )

	package Maybe;

	use Moo::Role;

	has value => (is => 'ro', required => 1);

	use overload
	'>>='=> \&bind;

	sub bind {

	// gcc -g -Wall --std=c99 wilson.c -lpng -o wilson && ./wilson

	/* Generate a random spanning tree of the RGB cube, and a random
	spanning tree of the pixel grid, using Wilson's algorithm, then
	do a simultaneous breadth-first search of these trees to obtain
	a bijection between the RGB cube and the pixel grid.
