I'm interested in Objective-C, but I'm wondering about it.  Relative volumes
in the C++ and Objective-C groups shows C++ is getting a lot more attention
on the net; likewise, there are multiple C++ implementations for DOS, none
for O-C that I know of (using DOS as a barometer).

The questions are, are there Objective-C vendors other than Stepstone?
Are there forthcoming affordable implementations for "standard" 
architectures, no matter how offensive those architectures may be?  Does
anyone have a feel for how Stepstone themselves are doing, i.e. will they
still be around a year or two, five years, from now?
