Unix pipes and filters meets dynamic messaging.

Filter Documentation

Higher Order Messaging

Messages that can take messages as an argument.

An example, a common delegate pattern that checks if the delegate responds to the message we want to send:

if ( [self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(windowWillClose:)] ) {
    [self.delegate windowDidClose:self];
}

can instead be expressed as

[[self.delegate ifResponds] windowDidClose:self];

Note that the first example, apart from being verbose, also has a bug that is enabled by the duplication and hidden by the verbosity.

HOM Documentation
