Objective-C for the Mac is available from the Stepstone Corporation.
Unfortunately you not only need MPW to use it, it offers only a basic
class library;  that is, no nice interface widgets, so it putting an
application together is still a big pile of work.

A better alternative is Prograph;  unlike Digitalk's Smalltalk for the
Mac, Prograph provides a real developer environment with things like
persistent objects, an object database built in, C and Pascal
interfaces, support for the Comm Toolbox, interface editors that make
putting together basic Mac applications a breeze, and a very good class
library.  They also provide extremely good technical support to
developers.  Digitalk ST/V has none of these things.  ST/V offers what
amounts to a closed environment:  you have to do everything in the ST
virtual machine, and it is very difficult to break out of it without
going to a lot of work.  We've used both and are very very happy with
Prograph.
