Objective-C is an object-oriented superset of the compatible with::C language. It mostly copies the message passing system from Smalltalk. It was popularized by NeXT, and then again by Apple Inc with Mac OS X and iOS to implement the Cocoa frameworks. Its main reference implementation is within the gcc compiler, maintained mostly by Apple.
As of October 2011, with the release of XCode 4.2, Apple switched from gcc to Clang as its default compiler. Clang/LLVM offers competitive execution times, better compile times, improved error messages, and supports a simpler alternative syntax for expressing NSArray & NSDictionary literals and indexing. In the same release Apple also introduced automatic reference counting (ARC) which eliminates the need to manually release/retain memory. With ARC the compiler reports an error any time it encounters a call to release, autorelease, retain, or dealloc.
