It really just sounds like you fell in love with Objective-C a few years ago, got burned by Java and C++, and haven't bothered to pay attention to anything else :)



Actually, what I fell in love with a *lot* of years ago was Smalltalk.


Nevertheless, it is quite and completely irrelevant in this list: this is Cocoa, have you noticed? So, we are talking ObjC here (and Java perhaps, though it is a very small niche).

I believe the original question of this thread actually was "can strong typing be faster *in Objective C*"?

If not, I am sorry that I answered a different one, but in that case the question was pretty offtopic.

You can write Cocoa in Haskell so I think it's well within the scope of the list.

Yeah, there are quite a few languages that can interoperate with Cocoa, due to the fact that it's rather easy to bridge to Objective-C..


PyObjC (Python):  http://pyobjc.sf.net/
RubyCocoa (Ruby): http://rubycocoa.sf.net/
CamelBones (Perl): http://camelbones.sf.net/
HOC (Haskell): http://hoc.sourceforge.net/

... along with plenty of other bridges for just about every other useful language, of various states of completeness (including Apple's own Java, JavaScript, and AppleScript bridges).

PyObjC can even do a lot of things with the Objective-C runtime better than Objective-C can :)
