Thus Swift.

Cough. Well, except the the "simple" part...

[penpapersw]

Yeah not saying Swift is simple. But its goal was originally (and may still be) to be Objective-C without the C.

[mpweiher]

Nope. That was always an empty marketing slogan.

Objective-C is Smalltalk added to C. Objective-C without the C is Smalltalk. Which is, coincidentally, a very simple language.
