Objective-C was adopted by NeXT Computer in the late 1980s for their app development framework.
The modern version of Objective-C, the one that's still in use today, was developed by NeXT and Sun and was called OpenStep. The first OpenStep specification was published in 1994.
OpenStep API implementations were created for NeXTSTEP OS, Solaris, and Windows NT, running on Motorola 68040, Intel, PA-RISC, and SPARC (and later PPC) platforms.
Sun would switch gears to Java, Apple would buy NeXT, and OpenStep would become Cocoa.
