The tougher part is to convince Apple to use the community dialect, otherwise you have the same situation as with Mono on Linux and C#, always a second class citizen. > So yes, a modern language, well-supported by all major platforms would > be great.

But it could be smart for them, as it would give developers more time to write better applications. They can reduce costs by sharing some of the development. We all save time and money, the economy is more productive, everyone is better off and we will all be able to thank Apple and Microsoft for making it happen. Keean.
