Implementing an Objective-C runtime from scratchWhat motivates someone to adopt one of the ten least desired programming languages in 2025? An exploration of Objective-C’s runtime library, its dynamic dispatch system, and the implementation of a custom runtime library targeting GCC.
The Sintra Arribas Hotel, just beside the “Praia Grande” beach, has a 100m salt-water pool which is mostly completely empty. An easy one hour trip from the center of Lisbon.

Lately been listening to Chris Forsyth, “Evolution Here we come” and “All Time Present” (which I ordered from Bandcamp). Pretty varied from track to track, and each of them is engaging and no impulse to switch songs. Some are long, some are short, a few have vocals, and many are very “prog rock” (which in this context is a good thing).
Particularly All Time Present sounds more like you’re attending a small intimate concert than lounging on your sofa; it grabs your attention and suddenly you’re tapping along.
