Post Obj-C
Out of curiosity, has anyone used objc in his/her OS? What would it take to implement? My though is that since ObjC can compile standard C code, I could use inline ASM and C for a kernel, using ObjC anywhere I needed object orientation. The thing is, I am still a relative n00b at C/ObjC and I am not too sure what it would take to get a working ObjC implementation in a new OS.

I believe there is a lot of support code that Objective C needs to run. I think that's why people don't use it.
Take a look around the net, you might find some hints or resources for making an OS in Objective C.

I think there is more support code needed for Obj-C than there is for C++. I haven't tried this, and I don't know if anyone else has, but can you statically link all of the code together? That should inject all the Obj-C code required into the binary until you re-write it all...

Good idea. Thx!
