The interesting thing, in addition that MS made objective-c and a
compatible framework with the Apple one, is to see how the swift
situation will evolve.
MS done this "port", because they don't have a large set of Apps in
their store for mobile Windows, and the developers focusing Windows for
phones were very few respect Android and iOS. This is a strategy to make
easier the port of Apps from iOs to Windows (phone or how they call
it), but I think this was quite obvious to all here.
If this will have success, and windows (phone) will start to take is
piece of the cake in the smartphone market, why a developer should
choice swift respet objective-c? Swift for now runs only on Apple, obj-c
runs on linux, *bsd, hurd and now "natively" (without mingw or other
stuffs) also on Windows (phone and PCs, for what I saw from the video),
and it is integrated in Visual Studio too.
Will be Swift just a fan boys language? Who now if now the chaces to be
released as open source are increased? And how much it will be usefull
now, if it will be released?
At last, Swift what has more than obj-c? They claim it is faster than
obj-c. The only reason I was waiting for swift, was the hope to see it
with a garbage collector instead of ARC, this not happened, and will not
happen, I think, so for me became a useless language.

Great to see that you are taking this story with such good spirit.
This is something I like about GNUstep.
If you want to get more details from Microsoft here is a video
http://channel9.msdn.com/events/Build/2015/3-610
You will have to skip to minute 33 for the Objective C demo,
before that it is just some nice compiler changes.

I am led to believe that Microsoft employs some full-time
developers.
