  Objective-C is getting lots of Scala features. 

  Scala is awesome.

  Through a few libraries, you can add some of Scala’s awesomeness to Objective-C.

  • Landon Fuller’s PLActorKit for Actors
  • Landon Fuller’s PLBlocks for Closures – Also coming in Snow Leopard.
  • MoGenerations’s FunctionalKit for Functional Constructs

  Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

  Hot Multiplayer action.

  Well, Apple finally approved Bullet Frenzy, so if you’d like to prove your superiority to your friends, grab a copy, flip on multiplayer and show them who’s boss.

  Go go go.
