FWIW, I was reading the article as someone with no Objective-C experience (outside of skimming a few references) and I could tell he was talking about a library rather than a language. It'd almost be analogous to writing an article titled "In praise of Javascript" and proceed to talk about jQuery functionality. jQuery has certainly had an impact on the Javascript language; but the two (despite popular opinion to the contrary) remain entirely distinct.

This isn't the case in Objective-C though. @"foo" is an instance of the NSString class, which is a part of the Foundation library. However, it has its own special syntax. Now, Apple is adding @[] and @{}, which are NSArray and NSDictionary instances.
