GNUstep has a small but loyal userbase!

As for resources, many books one can borrow on the Internet Archive 
(from OPENSTEP
all the way to Cocoa) as well as this great video resource:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOYNV2EifmBprMdSESVEu9g/videos

...has come in quite handy. Many things (but not all, like the obvious 
Core/QuickTime APIs)
still apply and it really helps get the right idea about programming 
in this environment.

Some of us hang out on IRC/Matrix (they are bridged so it's just a 
matter of preference)

Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/#gnustep:libera.chat

IRC:
Server: irc.libera.chat
Channel: #gnustep

Which brings me to the suggestion to maybe bring the Matrix room up a 
bit more.
As somebody who runs a couple popular projects outside of GNUstep, 
people seem
to be clicking with Matrix a lot more these days. And considering it's 
bridged with IRC
it probably wouldn't hurt to recommend it.
