Correct me if I'm wrong, but Objective-C's ecosystem is very much Apple-centric. Things in that regard have only started changing fairly recently.

- Volt 8y agoIt's always been cross-platform; GCC has supported it for decades. Apple's Cocoa libraries are Apple-centric, but there have long been alternatives like GNUStep.
- tzahola 8y agoApple-centric? The libraries in iOS and macOS, for sure. However, the language itself can be used anywhere where GCC is available.
- gumby 8y agoFWIW Objective-C predated Apple (or NeXT which adopted it and brought it to Apple) and was pared by Smalltalk.
