This history stops in 1995 which is right about when I started using Objective C for Swarm, an agent simulation system. We may have been the only major non-NeXTstep user of Objective C at the time. GNU Objective C was a key enabler for us; without it we couldn't have used it. We picked ObjC over C++ because it was so much smaller and simpler. Also reflective, at the time it was very hard at runtime to learn anything about a C++ type. It was a pretty good match for our needs at the time. tclobjc also helped a lot because it let us use Tk for the GUI.
