If I code an objective-c program can I rely on the system to garbage collect efficiently?

To Bavarious's point, it depends on what your expectation of efficiency is. Putting that aside, note that garbage collection is only available on OS X, not iOS.

I'm searching for a Dot language (http://www.graphviz.org/content/dot-language) parser in Objective-C or C but I cannot find one. Any advice ?
I do not want to draw graphs, but to use the Dot language to describe a workflow.
GraphViz is open source, so it's parser is available...

The reason for the name 'callback' eludes me. What does that term mean?
Because it provides a mechanism for a library to call back into your code.
Callbacks are called that because when you give something a callback, you enable it to "call back" into your code at a later time.

Or com is outdated.
In which way i need to go.

Com isn't the preferred method of doing things. However, as with many things, sometimes there are no other options and you are forced to use it.

how do you test your own k-means implementation for multidimensional data sets?
I was thinking of running an already existing implementation (i.e. Matlab) on the data and compare the results with my algorithm. But this would require both algorithms to work more than roughly the same and the mapping between the two results probably is no piece of cake.
Do you have a better idea?
