Response to: C for the masochists  The idea behind this article,
as I see it, is to teach people enough C so that they can use
Objective-C and Cocoa. Learning a language with automatic
garbage collection would be pointless since Objective-C does not
have automatic garbage collection. However the memory management
is different and simpler than straight C; you don't have to deal
with malloc and free. Also, there is less fiddling with
pointers.
