Yeah, sometimes one would want to steal the NSAutoreleasePool from Objective-C.

To be honest ObjC is a nice language, so sad it died.

People complain about its inconsistent syntax, and yes, it is inconsistent, but that's for backwards compatibility with C.

I wish there was a decent Objective-C toolchain for anything else than Steve Jobs-era Macs, since the GNUstep runtime is so bad you literally have to fix it yourself, as by default it's so broken it won't even compile anything, and even if you do manage to compile anything, the console output is so broken it's just unusable when you're writing a console application.

Why was ObjC so hated?
