You know the best part? The best part is that when some company retools itself to use one of the anointed languages, at some considerable delays, expense and likely with quite a bit of employee turnover -- and just for argument's sake let's say they pick C++ -- Apple may decide they actually don't like C++ in six-months and ban that as well. Or even better, they may release some new "mobile optimized" programming language and tool-chain that's completely different than anything anybody is using, and force the entire development community to move to that in a year. No matter how good the business reasons for it were, or how the decision made strategic sense, it puts development shops on sand during an earthquake instead of on mountains of their own devising.
