And I think Apple is encouraging a transition from Objective-C to Swift,
so future prospects for Objective-C might be limited. On the other
hand, there are Objective-C compilers at least for non-Apple Unix-like
systems, and probably for Windows as well (gcc supports Objective-C).
Swift is currently supported only for Apple systems, but that's supposed
to change later this year.
