I had the same reaction, but ObjC's method names are so bad that I just wound up writing my own Ruby wrappers anyhow, so most of my code is written in Ruby idiom.

ObjC does not fill the role C# fills in .NET. ObjC is still C code. C# doesn't have pointers. It doesn't segfault. Every object has reflection. There aren't aliasing problems. ObjC fills the place C++ fills in Win32; we still need a C# replacement.

Well, I was going with the C++/C# is the "do more" option and VB is quicker / easier.

Just a note: ObjC has reflection.
