'''Objective-C''' is a programming language based on [[C]], with influences from [[Smalltalk]]. It is object-oriented, featuring message-passing between objects and reflective querying of an object to discover its capabilities. It has no standard library (unlike C), but uses various system-specific frameworks.

Objective-C was developed in the early 1980s at a company called Stepstone, and adopted in the late part of that decade by NeXT (founded by Steve Jobs when he left Apple) as the main language used for the [[NeXTstep]] operating system. When Jobs returned to Apple and merged NeXT into that company, it became a major language for Mac [[OS X]] development, and eventually the official language for [[iOS]] development as well.

 [[C++]] and [[C Sharp|C#]] take different approaches to object-oriented C. Objective-C's syntax uses square brackets to invoke a method of a class, a syntax not found in those other languages, though the more widely-used "dot" syntax of following an object name with an attribute is also used.
