"Why does everything in Objective-C seem to be prefixed with “NS”? When Steve Jobs left Apple in the mid-1980s he started a company called NeXT. NeXT created the Objective-C language along with an operating system called NeXTSTEP. Objects in Objective-C were prefixed with “NS” — short for NeXTSTEP. When Apple bought NeXT in 1996, they developed OSX and iOS on top of the existing NeXTSTEP frameworks — and almost 20 years later, we’re all still using class names from the NeXT era."

The engine was first compiled with Intel's C compiler for DOS, but later Watcom's C/C++ compiler was used.[7] A good read on Carmack and Romero. Two fiercely independent hackers. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/222146.Masters_of_Doom Comments John Carmack, creator of Doom and the FPS gaming genre, used a $10,000 Next workstation to make games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Doom Doom was developed on NeXT workstations, under the NEXTSTEP operating system.[6] The Doom game engine was programmed in C, and the editing tools were written in Objective-C.
