Does anyone use Objective C for anything but the iphone?

  Yes. It is used in Mac development all the time.

  A long time I ago I used to make multi-agent artificial life simulations in a system called Swarm, which was in Objective C: http://www.swarm.org/wiki/Main_Page http://www.swarm.org/wiki/Main_Page I don't remember much, just that it was a nice language, well fitting for the problem domain. It seems meanwhile they also added Java and C++ support.

    I too used to program in the Swarm platform with Objective-C. Off-topic, but if you are interested in frameworks like this, also check out the MASON Multiagent Simulation Toolkit (which is based in Java): http://www.cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/mason/ http://www.cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/mason/
