I really don't understand what the author of this article is trying to say. What does multitasking have to do with the language you wrote the application in? Apple has taken a somewhat awkward approach to "multitasking". They only allow it for certain API. This API can easily be exposed in any programming language, be it Objective-C, Java, or C#. This is a mood point. No, I personally believe they want to go after Adobe and killed any cross-compilation approach in the process. It will be interesting to see the discussions around "originally written" and "compatibility layer" as mentioned in the new SDK license agreement. "Originally written": what does that mean? If you first write an Android app and then manually write an Objective-C version, is this still 'original'? "Compatibility layer": it is a very common approach in computer science to create abstractions through layers. If Electronic Arts for example created wrapper functions for the OpenGL API so they can more easily port it to other devices, you might call this a compatibility layer. Well, lets see where this leads to. I'm still looking forward to Adobe's and Novell's response to all of this.
