As the developer of ObjFW, I can only disagree. Objective-C is not increasingly 
tied to Mac, Clang is in fact quite modular and adding support for my own 
runtime was a pleasant experience. Yes, there are some unfortunate cases where 
Clang hardcoded the names of classes, but nothing you couldn't get around using 
@compatibility_alias. I think that ObjFW works well will with the latest Clang 
trunk says pretty much about how ObjC is becoming more linked to  a platform - 
it's simply not. Especially if you take into account that with ObjFW, you can 
even use ObjC on embedded devices (see https://webkeks.org/blog/?67 and 
https://webkeks.org/blog/?68) and you couldn't get farther away from OS X ;).
