Objective-C Description
Objective-C is the primary programming language that you use to create software for iOS and OS X. It's a superset the C programming language, and provides object-oriented capabilities as well as a dynamic runtime. Objective-C inherits C's syntax, primitive types and flow control statements. It also adds syntax for creating classes and methods. It adds language-level support to object graph management and object literals. Additionally, dynamic typing and binding are provided. Many responsibilities are deferred until runtime. You will spend most of your time building apps for iOS or OS X using objects. These objects are Objective-C classes that you can create yourself or Cocoa Touch.
Objective-C Alternatives
C++
C++ is a simple language with clear expressions. ...), but once one knows the meaning of such characters it can be even more schematic and clear than other languages that rely more on English words. C++'s simplified input/output interface and incorporation of the standard library of templates make data manipulation and communication much easier than in C. It is a programming model in which each component is treated as an object. This replaces or complements the structured programming paradigm that focuses on procedures and parameters.

Scala
Scala combines object-oriented programming with functional programming in a single, concise language. Scala's static type system helps avoid bugs in complex applications. Its JavaScript and JVM runtimes allow you to build high-performance systems and have easy access to large libraries. Scala is intelligent about static types. You don't usually need to tell Scala what the types of your variables are. Instead, it will use its powerful type inference to figure them out. Scala uses case classes to represent structural data types. They implicitly equip the class using meaningful toString, equals, and hashCode methods. They also have the ability to be deconstructed using pattern matching. Scala functions are values. They can be described as anonymous functions using a concise syntax.

Odin
Odin is a general purpose programming language that supports data-oriented programming and modern systems. Odin is the C alternative to the Joy of Programming. Odin was designed to be easy to read, scalable, and orthogonal. Simple is easier to do right than complicated, but clear is better than clever. Odin provides the best performance by providing low-level control over memory layout, memory management, custom allocators, and many other features. Odin was built from the ground up to be compatible with modern computers. It also supports array programming and SOA data types. Programming is a passion that we love solving problems. Programming should bring us joy, so why shouldn't it? Programming with Odin is fun again!

Zig
Zig is a general purpose programming language and toolchain that allows you to maintain robust, optimal, and reusable software.
Instead of worrying about your programming language knowledge, focus on debugging the application.
A new approach to metaprogramming that relies on compile-time execution and lazy evaluation
No hidden control flow.
There are no hidden memory allocations.
No preprocessor, no macros.
Any function can be called at compile-time
You can manipulate types as values with no runtime overhead.
Comptime imitates the target architecture.
Zig is a zero-dependency drop-in C/C++ compiler, which supports cross-compilation right out-of the box.
Use zig build to ensure consistency across platforms.
You can add a Zig compilation unit into C/C++ projects. Cross-language LTO is automatically enabled.
