Would love to hear more about this. I use GNUstep and follow MulleObjC.

So 32 bit platforms is the goal???

Can you make a list of like top 10 reasons to use ObjFW instead of Foundation?

Two red flags:

- the exception philosophy seems wrong-headed to me — you want to build language features that encourage handling of routine runtime issues without the overhead of C++-style exceptions

- the claim that the runtime is faster than Apples’s runtime is very citation-needed

Does anyone really want to use it outside iOS?

Sure. If you want a SmallTalk that you can use to build real apps, ObjC is your best choice.

Yes. I actually fell in love with it. I began to learn iOS and Swift because that's the kind of computer I owned.

Along the way I began to learn about how Swift relies heavily on the Objective-C runtime and began to dig in. The flexibility to me is amazing.

Love it. Incremental typed languages are by far my favorite.
