And the short story is not end, there is a very good cross cross platform implementation for Objective-C that runs at Linux,Windows,OSX,Haiku-OS and so on...
And is very active in development. :D

- mucholove 5y agoWould love to hear more about this. I use GNUstep and follow MulleObjC. So 32 bit platforms is the goal??? Can you make a list of like top 10 reasons to use ObjFW instead of Foundation?
- jimmaswell 5y agoDoes anyone really want to use it outside iOS?
- setpatchaddress 5y agoSure. If you want a SmallTalk that you can use to build real apps, ObjC is your best choice.

- mucholove 5y agoYes. I actually fell in love with it. I began to learn iOS and Swift because that's the kind of computer I owned. Along the way I began to learn about how Swift relies heavily on the Objective-C runtime and began to dig in. The flexibility to me is amazing. Love it. Incremental typed languages are by far my favorite.
- setpatchaddress 5y agoTwo red flags: - the exception philosophy seems wrong-headed to me — you want to build language features that encourage handling of routine runtime issues without the overhead of C++-style exceptions - the claim that the runtime is faster than Apples’s runtime is very citation-needed
