There is no such functionality in the Cocoa API. However, there are several open source frameworks that allows you to evaluate other languages dynamically from within Objective-C and manipulate objective-C objects from within these languages.

For instance, using F-Script (http://www.fscript.org), your example, which was:

id object = NSEval(@"[SomeClass method1:aparameter :anOtherparameter]");

would be coded like this:

id object = [[@"[SomeClass method1:aparameter :anOtherparameter]" asBlock] value];

For more about run-time evaluation and passing objects between Objective-C and F-Script see this article: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/07/12/embed_fscript.html

Best,
