AFNetworking seems to still have too much in the way for my taste, but maybe i'm missing something. Couple of questions: If i want to generate url requests, i have to use a seriali…

Still too complicated. IMO none these libraries should hide NSMutableURLRequest. A lot of their functionality can and should just be exposed as category extensions to NSMutableURLR…

Agreed, application-level tab support is a short term win. I wouldn't want to use a browser without them, but i would rather it was all a well thought out part of my main interface…

I feel like i have to read period-ridden marketing in a really dramatic way. In my head. And if i'm not doing that, then i just have ideas. Separated.

Periods. Overused. In marketing. So much. Appears normal.

There was something similar to this about two weeks ago here, with vars and lambdas in c99. It was less of a full blown language and more just functions and preprocessor definition…

Does anyone know, or can anyone speculate on exactly how the "heterogenous payloads" are specified?
