> The ability to use a high-level, dynamic language (ObjC), C, and even inline assembly in a single source file is unique to Objective-C (at least among the "mainstream" languages), and something I think is often under-appreciated.

You can even use C++, too, which is awesome. Putting Objective-C objects in C++ structs "just works" thanks to ARC.

One thing most people don't know is that Objective-C was originally implemented as a precompiler for C.
