Objective-C was always "good enough", and in fact the rewrite from an Objective-C Foundation to the C-based CoreFoundation saw a huge regression: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.next.advocacy/c/uOQnC1x... The objections to Objective-C at Apple were always political, not technical, with a very entrenched "no Objective-C, ever" faction. Took a quarter of a century, but it looks like they finally won. |

Dude, clicked your profile links, and wtf? Objective-S looks awesome! I had never even heard of it, but creating a more easy-to-use language ontop of the Obj-C runtime is epic!
I actually wrote my own C-based meta type system for giving my core library and applications that use it a language-independent object-oriented C layer for interop. That's actually how I discovered the magic that is Objective-C and how powerful the C runtime actually is... that's why I'm sad to see it slowly disappear, and anything like this that keeps it alive and uses it is really cool to me. :)
I just wrote unit tests for making sure the Objective-C runtime is working and doesn't accidentally get broken in the indie SDK, KallistiOS, for the Sega Dreamcast: https://github.com/KallistiOS/KallistiOS/pull/202, haha.
