Which small changes are you referring to? We use LLVM/clang and so does Apple. We have ARC, we have properties and other features as well. Be explicit... BTW, I'm the lead maintainer, so I kind of know what is there and what isn't.

Apple uses their own fork of LLVM/clang, hence why watchOS bitcode is more stable than what the open source variant offers.

I didn't fell to go all the way back to the WWDC 2006 when Objective-C 2.0 was announced.

Explicit enough?
