I feel like the web is such a chaotic mess of technologies...we need some sort of universal language in the future. I hope HTML5 will deliver that although I doubt it. I remember reading a blog from Joe Hewitt talking about how he would love to see objective-c for creating web apps (like cappuccino, but tied in with the backend as well). Should be interesting to see what happens

For better or for worse, JavaScript is that language. (Along with all of the languages that compile to JS: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-lang...)

That Objective-C Web framework exists. Check out http://www.frothkit.org/ http://www.frothkit.org/ Honestly, though, I don't know why you'd want Objective-C. The language itself is not clearly better than many others. It's Cocoa (Touch) that makes programming on Apple's platforms so pleasant.
