Seems so. I often wonder what things would be like if Apple had improved upon Objective-C by fixing up the underyling C language. Yeah it'd no longer be a superset of C, but so what? Neither is Swift. Swift is great but I wish it was closer to Objective-C in spirit by deliberately being a more lightweight language. It's language spec is gargantuan - they've pretty much succeeded in making it a language as complex as C++. Merely adding generics and better typing akin to TypeScript's, to Objective-C would've worked wonders and made the transition less abrupt.
