Objective-C is the zombie of the C derived languages. It was a bad idea to start with, based on Brad's naive notion of "software ICs" and not Smalltalk as this article claims.
Whatever Apple does will create a standard for Objective-C, because the only real users for the language are the poor souls stuck having to use it to develop for OS/X.
