Mr Sink answered most of the questions with more knowledge than I,
but what I am wondering is this...

Doesn't Objective-C have some kind of runtime environment (like
LISP and smalltalk) ?  Doesn't this involve a little more than
just "writing a compiler" like you would for C (or FORTRAN,
Pascal, ...)?

That's how I understood it to be, am I wrong?
