But if you're serious about building a native Windows app with native Windows look and feel, with the UI a Window's user expects, then build a Win32 frontend app. Factor out the backend into C/C++, Java or some other language that's easily portable for you.

Just curious if anyone has ever used an Objective-C back end on Windows with a native Windows GUI? Is there Objective-C compiler support on Windows? You could either wrap C based Windows calls in Objective C, or write controller code in C that could talk to both the Windows GUI objects and the Objective-C model objects.

Probably not practical, but just curious if anyone else has thought about this.

The gcc-objc compiler should work on Win32, with their libobjc. Creating the framework will be hard, you'll have to pull tricks to get it to look like cocoa on one side and be Win32 on the other.

It's certainly possible though.
