Hi,
In the last couple of weeks/months I've worked a lot with the GNUstep frameworks and really like the intuitiveness of Objective-C/Cocoa. I recently implemented some new NSURL methods and the NSURLSessionDownloadTask. It's already merged :) (Thank you for all the tips and tricks you gave me while reviewing my code).
Now I have to ask one question: Are there any plans to add interoperability between Swift and Objective-C for the libobjc2 runtime? It would attrack new developers and help improve the GNUstep frameworks. I don't like Swift syntax and its inconsistencies but this is a personal preference and at the end interop is better than what we have now.
