(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)

I'm amazed at how easy it is to do xmlrpc in Python.

import xmlrpclib server = xmlrpclib.Server('http://betty.userland.com/RPC2'); print server.examples.getStateName(34)

and that's it. I wonder if such a thing could be done for objective-c. A way to call methods with arguments that don't really exist in a class...

Server *server = [[Server alloc] initWithUrl:@"http://betty.userland.com/RPC2" andHandler:@"examples"]; NSString *state = [server getStateName:5];

... oh that would be sweet.
