Fine. Back to the original discussion, I will be left guessing why languages like Lisp and Pascal were left out, even though they may be as efficient as C. Let's say, for example, because of the lack of iPhone-specific infrastructure (APIs etc). Supporting 5 rather than 3 languages would be too much, I guess, considering the 2 are not terribly popular.



Apple is not supporting them anyway. These platforms mostly support themselves.

Guess what, Lisp and others have C FFIs and Objective C bridges and can call Apple's library.
