ObjectiveSugar is a small Objective-C library that adds Ruby-style functional helpers to Foundation classes like NSNumber, NSArray, NSSet, and NSDate. It provides expressive methods such as times, upto, map, select, reject, and date arithmetic to make Objective-C code more readable.

Use cases

• iterate over arrays with a Ruby-style each and map in Objective-C
• run a block a fixed number of times with @3 times
• filter collections with select and reject instead of verbose predicates
• do date math like 7.days until or 30.days since
• sort and manipulate NSArray/NSSet with concise helpers

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS/macOS codebase and want more expressive collection and number APIs
• you prefer Ruby-like syntax sugar in Objective-C
• you want lightweight Foundation additions without a large dependency

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project in Swift, which has these features natively
• you need a library with active maintenance and recent updates
• you need functional helpers beyond Foundation collections and dates
