The fact that the extension of NSFunctionExpression in Leopard and the launch of iOS happened around the same time is interesting to me. Clearly one side of Apple was continuing to do everything they could to make their platform more attractive to high-level application developers, continuing the focus on this area that went back to the early years of NeXT [1], unaware (or unconcerned) that another part of Apple would be using this same framework in a consumer device where any way of abusing all of this power could be weaponized. [1]: See in particular the part of the original NeXT presentation right after intermission, with demos of gluing together high-level components using Interface Builder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92NNyd3m79I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92NNyd3m79I
