Q: 

Is it possible to code Objective-C on Windows?

I would like to test Objective-C but I haven't a Mac. Is it possible to program Objcetive-C on Windows. Another possibility is to do it in Linux. Anyone who knows?

+3  A: 

Yes, the GNU Compiler Collection contains an Objective-C frontend.

It will easily work on Linux and can be used on Windows too if you workaround with some binary distributions like cygwin or gnustep.

But I don't think you will have any kind of Cocoa API, you will have just the ObjC syntax.

GNUStep is an open source version of the Cocoa API.

thanks for your clarification. Never got too deep inside ObjC on other platforms since I've got a mac :)
