Thats true, but we are discussing this topic on a apple mailing list...
So I do not think many people without OS X (and the
Foundation.framework that comes along) are replying to this list.

I disagree, the retain, autorelease and release are all defined
within the

And that is something that belongs together with the Objective-C

language, but
Objective-C is kind of useless without the Foundation framework...
I really don't see myself creating a NSObject interface each time I
create a
terminal project! ;-)
It's useless without *a* foundation framework, but Foundation is not
the only one.
I did a great deal of productive work in Objective-C before ever
touching any libraries with a NeXT/Apple heritage. From that
perspective, everything that starts with NS is outside the language
and in libraries. From a pure Apple perspective it's not so clear.
Various Apple additions such as properties and garbage collection have
blurred the line even further. But still, ObjC can be quite useful
without Foundation.
