I've used C+GObject for some time now.<br>

The really fascinating thing about Objective C is that not only does
GCC support it, but clang does too. The runtime library is very
portable, meaning that you can write your daemon (for example) on a
Linux system, and it is pretty trivial to move it to other platforms
should the need arise.<br>
<br>
With the way that systemd likes things done, too, where daemons no
longer have to double-fork but instead just run on the primary
process and are constrained by cgroups, it makes it very easy. No
longer do you have to "daemonize" to run properly—just write your
daemon to start as a normal blocking process, and systemd will
manage it just fine. Simplifies development, too, since you just
run the process with no extra command lines during development to
run a local/private copy.<br>
<br>
But seriously, the API provided is very elegant, and I think it
deserves a place on a list of useful environments somewhere.
Perhaps I'll do a talk on it in several months—I wouldn't be ready
to anytime real soon.<br>
