I mean it's not even the different syntax, that's okay in practice it's just the confusing terminology for things we already have, functions aren't functions anymore! And you don't call them!

I successfully fixed both broken iPhone's. The digitizer replacement seems to have worked out better then the case replacement. Gave 1 to Bulgarian girl, and I guess the other will be a spare.
Also apparently the laboratory females think this behavior is adorable.
I cracked open a door and within I saw a myriad of worlds. Dizzying possibility spread out before me, formless yet vastly complex... no path was marked, no map could navigate the endless universe, but I knew that if I stretched out my hand I would grasp the power to create whatever I imagined.
Guys, last night I downloaded the Unreal Development Kit.

I’m reading Chesterton on George Bernard Shaw (no, I’m not really sure why either):
“A quick eye for ideas may actually make a writer slow in reaching his goal, just as a quick eye for landscapes might make a motorist slow in reaching Brighton. An original man has to pause at every allusion or simile to re-explain historical parallels, to re-shape distorted words. Any ordinary leader-writer (let us say) might write swiftly and smoothly something like this: “The element of religion in the Puritan rebellion, if hostile to art, yet saved the movement from some of the evils in which the French Revolution involved morality.” Now a man like Mr. Shaw, who has his own views on everything, would be forced to make the sentence long and broken instead of swift and smooth. He would say something like: “The element of religion, as I explain religion, in the Puritan rebellion (which you wholly misunderstand) if hostile to art — that is what I mean by art — may have saved it from some evils (remember my definition of evil) in which the French Revolution — of which I have my own opinion — involved morality, which I will define for you in a minute.” That is the worst of being a really universal sceptic and philosopher; it is such slow work. The very forest of the man’s thoughts chokes up his thoroughfare. A man must be orthodox upon most things, or he will never even have time to preach his own heresy.”
Ah, graduate school, and trying to write my dissertation. I remember it well. (Shudder.) I don’t know whether I was a budding universal philosopher, but I did commit the sin of wanting to be a multifold heretic within the scope of a single paragraph, or sentence. I’ve tried to stop doing that.
And ultimately, pre-baked parallelization isn't really a concern. I guess I understand your snark, but message passing, for all intents and purposes, is method calling on an object.

Isn't it implicitly asynchronous?
There is some logic to having the language handle boring repetitive tasks for you.
Message passing is not function calling and eventually you will figure out why the syntax is all different.
For the most part: "Because Apple"
Ugh, come on.
It's because it has to simultaneously co-exist with existing C syntax, allow for mingling with C++ without getting confusing, and offer new features. I mean, you can't call functions that don't exist but you can certainly pass messages to objects that don't respond to them. It's actually pretty awesome.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
And I guess if you're really into dynamic binding it'd be cool.
Somehow I'd figure if you were after speed and performance on a mobile platform you'd stick with simula and it's compile-time binding rather than small-talk, be different like Apple syndrome.

Probably, but if my own public school education is any indication, teachers read this post and thought you just typed "Lord of the Flies" like 7 times.

So [chat], if I were given the power to guarantee that one book was never discovered my my kids, which one should it be?
None of them. Let them be exposed and teach them to question until they get satisfactory answers.
A reasoned person need not fear any knowledge.
Children are not reasoned people yet!
That's what the teach them part is there for. They won't become reasoned people if they're insulated from things, especially bad things.
Have them read Atlas Shrugged and show them why its crap.
Show them Godfather 3 and teach them why its horrible.
Indeed, give them the prequels so that they may learn.

I'd figure the run-time binding is the biggest draw to it. You only implement a message on some objects, you can send it to all, and only those that implement it respond back properly, the rest ignore it. If I were to wager some guesses.
Edit: whereas the simula compile-time binding would require all those objects to implement the message/method or else fail to compile (what we see in C++ with inheritance and virtual functions).

I don't know, but fuck obj-c.
BRACKETS AND MESSAGING! Die in a fire, thanks.
Agriculture!
Glad to see an informed user of the language passing rational judgements.
Performance, multiplatform code, and interfacing with C++ libraries among other reasons.
I just don't feel like rooting my phone!
I'm lazy!
I think I need to know more. Is it for a game?
I'm going through multiple books right now.
It is, without a doubt, ridiculous.

You're wrong. I judge people based on more than just the attractiveness of their faces.

The original Necronomicon, purportedly written on human skin and penned with human blood, and possessing the power to invoke the Old Ones.
