Cocoa is a direct descendent of NEXTStep which is an open spec. Hence the NS prefix on class names. Here's "Mono for Apple":

You mention MS "endorsing" Mono as if that means something.

Yes it means something ... it shows good will, it shows they are probably not going to sue, and their developers are also contributing/helping out Mono.

> Cocoa is a direct descendent of NEXTStep

Oh please, take any Cocoa app and try running it in Gnustep.

Yes, and this recent thread[1] on the Cappuccino mailing list has links to several other Objective-X languages.

But the first ones I linked are all Objective-C. Well, Étoilé has implemented a smalltalk-esque syntax now.
