Obj-C is an object-oriented programming language used primarily for developing software on Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems. It was created in 1983 by Brad Cox as a derivative of the C programming language. Initially called "Stepwedge," it was later renamed "Objective-C" by Apple in the 1980s after purchasing the technology.

The language introduced Smalltalk's messages and optional typing to the C language, allowing for easier object-oriented programming. This emerged as a means to tackle complex development tasks within the confines of the then-newly founded NeXT computer systems. Speaking to this, Obj-C utilizes interfaces, classes, and other objects to simplify development. Essentially, the goal behind Objective-C was to make the process more intuitive and expedient.

Within the broader Apple ecosystem, Obj-C presently serves as a key coding framework for native apps, along with its involvement in iOS device programming. To further improve applications, developers must pull together Xcode, an especially configured toolset from Apple designed for coding applications on their iOS and macOS fields.

A side note on perceptivity: the function of Objective-C has, as of late, moved slightly because many of the latest software integrations now occur with Swift. This has indeed changed things: Apple has made efforts to reduce Objective-C code. However, existence within classic Cocoa frameworks continues to keep its code equvalent to signifcat its full commercial relevance.
