• A high-level, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style message passing (messaging) to the C programming language. Objective-C was the standard language used, supported, and promoted by Apple for developing macOS and iOS applications from 1997, when Apple purchased NeXT, until the introduction of the Swift language in 2014. It was originally developed in the early 1980s by Brad Cox and Tom Love. ← Wikipedia
