Wow, I wonder if that guy has a Xeon 8-core for a brain. Writing a  
runtime for a language like Objective-C isn't much of a problem (the  
earliest Objective-C was a preprocessor for C or C++, I'm not sure  
which one) but two days? This guy must have drunk about forty 2-liter  
bottles of coffee.

	@interface Runtime {
		int w;
	}
	- (int)whyDid:(int)my floatie:(float)inTheWater;
	+ (NSString *)theAnswerIsRightInFrontOfYourTerminal;
	@end

	@implementation Runtime

	- (int)whyDid:(int)my floatie:(float)inTheWater
	{
		return 0;
	}

	+ (NSString *)theAnswerIsRightInFrontOfYourTerminal
	{
		return @"It has been so long since I opened Xcode to work with  
Objective-C\n";
	}

	@end
