Single inheritence model.
Method calls [object method];
[object method: param1 paramName2: param2];
Method calls are really message dispatches
Slides (from which he is pretty much reading) are available at his slideshare account, so I think it’s two feet time.

I did at least learn enough about Objective-C to see that no sane developer would ever willing use it. All those square braces are crazy. I do like the message-passing concept, though.
