The syntax of Objective-C has about one thing that's similar to the syntax of Smalltalk. It is a single-inheritance message-based language and has that in common with Smalltalk, but it's really more of C with a simple object system bolted onto the side that looks completely alien from both the C and Smalltalk perspective. All of the mediocrity of programming with C with less than half of what's interesting about any Smalltalk environment. Now with garbage collection and foreach!
