Yes, Objective-C deserves more love.
I find it perplexing that the language never took off for open source Unix development. For example, I tried GTK 4 not that long ago and was surprised how similar its design was with Cocoa (it even had auto-layout!). Unfortunately, the GObject system felt like a poor man's Objective-C. I understand the appeal of C over C++, but Objective-C would have been a perfect fit here. Feels like a missed opportunity.
