I suppose IBM and Sun will just evaporate as people buy Xserves to run their businesses? Apple doesn't even use Objective-C 100% of the time as they can get to

I suppose IBM and Sun will just evaporate as people buy Xserves to run their businesses? Apple doesn't even use Objective-C 100% of the time as they can get to the libraries with C++ .

Of course Apple doesn't use Objective-C 100% of the time. Microsoft doesn't use C# all of the time either. Doing so wouldn't make sense for either company. The author's point is not that Objective-C will be the only language that matters, it is that Objective-C is about to matter a whole lot more, because it is the only way to write native apps for the iPhone. Secondarily, he's suggesting this is a good thing because the Cocoa frameworks (note I didn't say the language) have a proven track record of allowing small teams to ship big apps that are very successful.
