It's kind of odd to call C a general purpose programming language today. When it came out, it was, just as it was a "high level" language, but would not be considered so today. These terms tend to be relative to other commonly used languages. I would probably say "While the goalposts are always moving as to what might be considered a 'general purpose programming language,' Objective S is, to my mind, the furthest in that direction so far." Wordier, but should rub fewer people the wrong way.
