I made a poster showing how one might write a Hello World program in 39 different programming languages, and even different versions of some common languages like Java:

Objective C is by far the weirdest on that list.

Objective-C is basically Java so I wouldn’t call it that weird.

Objective-C is significantly (11 years) older than Java.

1984: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-C

1995: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

Correct, Java was designed with a strongly influence from Objective-C.

One might even say Java is basically Objective-C

Kind of, but with C++ syntax to make it more appealing,
