    > Question: is Objective-C post 2.0 being actively maintained outside of Apple?

    Yes as part of the GNUStep project [1]. You can compile Objective-C with Clang for any platform, including Windows, and link with the GNUStep Obj-C runtime. The big problem is outside of GNUStep and macOS you won't have any frameworks - not even NSString.

    You're not alone. Unlike C++, Obj-C was a reasonable OO extension to C. It's a shame the language never received more love. Qt, GTK, even Microsoft's MFC would have been perfect candidates for the language. Instead they all reinvented message passing [2][3] in their own incompatible ways.
