started out Objective-C and it was perfect for anyone who already
had Objective-C frameworks and wanted to utilize them on their web

dropped Objective-C altogether.
Although it makes my life increasingly more difficult, I can see
why they did it and I would hazard a guess that they won't ever go
back. At the time Java was as hot as Ruby is now and I'm sure the
decision was based upon trying to get more market share. Since
they've already ported from Objective-C to Java, I doubt they'll
port back to Objective-C . . . unless, that is, they are still
maintaining their own Objective-C version and decide to release
it. That seems like a lot of work, though.
Isn't that what they did for their OS as well? They ported it from
Intel to PowerPC, then dropped the Intel Version, than many years
later decided to switch back to Intel. Seems they secretly dragged
the Intel Version along all the time. I bet they will release OSX for
Sparc and HPPA soon ;)
