ObjFW  Diff

  ObjFW is intentionally incompatible with Foundation. This has two reasons:

   * GNUstep already provides a reimplementation of Foundation, which is only
     compatible to a certain degree. This means that a developer still needs to
     care about differences between frameworks if they want to be portable. The
     idea behind ObjFW is that a developer does not need to concern themselves
     with portability and making sure their code works with multiple
     frameworks: Instead, if it works it ObjFW on one platform, they can
     reasonably expect it to also work with ObjFW on another platform. ObjFW
     behaving differently on different operating systems (unless inevitable
     because it is a platform-specific part, like the Windows Registry) is
     considered a bug and will be fixed.
   * Foundation predates a lot of modern Objective-C concepts. The most
     prominent one is exceptions, which are only used in Foundation as a
