Not sure what you meant here. Cocoa+tooling provides a fairly 
high level environment. You drop down to C when you need speed or 
low level interfacing. It was only an example, you could pick any 
high level environment.

Well, I am not really sure if C suffers all that much. It was an 
improvement on BCPL and aimed for easy porting so you can port to 
new hardware platforms easily. And has been rather successful at 
that. D is nowhere near that level of platform support.
