I really do miss something like this in ObjectiveC. All those callback methods really mess up the code. Thanks for the very interesting links. I really do miss something like this in ObjectiveC.

See Python's Twisted framework, for example. But, ultimately, I think you'll either end up with callbacks, explicit waits or yields, or threads. The asynchrony will show up somewhere.

I can't wait to see what you're working on. :-) I’m a little suprised you didn’t mention 10.5’s NSOperation & NSOperationQue.
