My vote goes for NewtonScript/JavaScript.
It's highly dynamic.
Prototype-based inheritence.
Excellent for UI descriptions and UI programming.
Very small and concise.
I'm experimenting some with Cocoa/Java and the Rhino JavaScript engine.
JavaScript (ECMAscript) is arguably better than NewtonScript because
the syntax is more Java and C++-like, which is more familiar.
(No begin/end, := assignment, etc.)
If only Apple would resurrect the Newton frameworks, add them as
a framework to OS X and then export them to a portable device again...
That would be totally cool. Newton and BeOS are the coolest API's/
programming environments I've encountered since the Apple II,
which was a lot of fun "back in the day."
Just my opinion. Cocoa is neat, but I really don't like it that much...
