You_can_ write an Objective-C binding using CObject (as in, it's

However, nice-looking bindings will always have a part written in
C that will be VM-dependent, which is why I put this project
last. It is much less useful than it looks.
Inteoperating smoothly with the rest of the world is very useful.
I fully agree. But there's so much more involved in interoperating
smoothly with the rest of the world than Aliens/CObjects, and what's
left is very hard to do in a cross-dialect way.
So, having cross-dialect Aliens/CObjects is a nice step, but
unfortunately it is still far from being a full solution.
