Hey, I noticed you mentioned that you were interested in having client library generation in Obj-C, Java, and Scala, yet all of the existing client lib support is for dynamic languages. I think you may find that some fundamental changes need to be made to support this, unless every datatype is just going to be a string.

If you are talking about API definition, there need not be many changes since api.json do not define any objects.

If you are talking about the code of the program, they wont be changed because, the program just compiles and executes the templates.

If I didnt answer your question properly, could you please elaborate?
