Objectionable-C

from Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003)

Objectionable-C
 n.

   Hackish take on "Objective-C", the name of an object-oriented dialect
   of C in competition with the better-known C++ (it is used to write
   native applications on the NeXT machine). Objectionable-C uses a
   Smalltalk-like syntax, but lacks the flexibility of Smalltalk method
   calls, and (like many such efforts) comes frustratingly close to
   attaining the {Right Thing} without actually doing so.

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)

Objectionable-C

   <abuse, humour, language> A hackish take on "{Objective C}".
   Objectionable-C uses a {Smalltalk}-like {syntax}, but lacks
   the flexibility of Smalltalk {method} calls, and (like many
   such efforts) comes frustratingly close to attaining the
   {Right Thing} without actually doing so.
