I'm guessing that Swift is compatible with Apple's Objective-C
runtime, which is not the same as the GNUStep Objective-C
runtime.
Thanks, that makes sense. I think ARC can be faster without the
Objective-C dependency.
On the other hand, I'm guessing it's possible to create a C
bridge as well.

Yep. Linux is dominated by C so it makes perfect sense to focus
on Swift + C and make it perform well.
