elementary OS

Can Elementary be programmed in Objective C?

Asked by Peter Ulvskov

The obvious Apple inspiration of ElementaryOS - so well executed - makes me wonder if I can develop applications for ElementaryOS using objective C? And I do not mean with GUI elements of GNUStep but using the interface elements of ElementaryOS.

Principial it is possible. GTK is the GUI Framework of elementary.

But I would recommend to look at vala. It is a easy to learn language and almost all components of elementary are programmed in it.
