--- Comment #1 from Richard Cattermole <alphaglosined at gmail.com> ---
There is quite a big difference between PHP, Javascript and Objective-C.

PHP is implemented in C/C++ so we can already interface to it.
Javascript engines are written in C/C++ commonly so again we can interface with
it.
Objective-C can only be wrapped via C. Not preferable.

Objective-C is comparable with C++ not with either of these two.
It is used with system libraries on OSX, PHP and Javascript cannot be used this
way.

It is impossible to create a window on OSX without Objective-C in some form.
