@swannodette Could is the operative word: I haven’t maintained it for over a decade, I doubt it will compile against a new LLVM without so,e significant work.

@david_chisnall I wasn't looking for a working thing. I was mostly interested in the fact that objc2 could in fact host other languages. Like a general infrastructure for a dynamic language w/o say all the complexity of the JVM.

@swannodette That was one of its explicit design goals. There are a few features in there that are not really exposed in Objective-C.
I really wanted to build a system where you could wrap C libraries and expose everything to end users for extension. Unfortunately, for this to be safe it needs a security model with better sharing than is possible on conventional hardware, which is why I moved on to CHERI.
