This was one of the most redeeming things about Objective-C. It is a superset of C, and when I was working with it, I found myself writing the high-level stuff in ObjC, but with a lot of pure-C functions sprinkled in. It was really nice for working with C libraries like OpenGL, because you could find an example online and directly apply it without going through any kind of translation step. It was a really cool feature to have.
