A couple of definitions

[Mykroft Holmes IV]

Objective-C is the other OOP variant of C, and reportedly much easier to 
program in. It's still in heavy use in the Mac World, being one of the 
two main languages for Cocoa Programming, but isn't much used in the 
rest of the world, apart from maybe GNUStep (Objective-C was the primary 
language used in NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP software.)
