Coming from Python, any extra verbosity really drives me crazy. Declaring variables, and having to write the same thing in the header and implementation files hurts me. I could probably live with that though, I guess it's the memory management for iPhone development that really bothers me. I think I'm just a high level programmer and I get bored/discouraged really fast if it takes too much work to make something happen on the screen/phone. (Obviously C# really isn't that much better, but I was thinking .net on iPhone might lead to ironPython?)

My previous dablings into mobile app development were first with the old Palm OS (plain old C) and a bit of J2ME (oh the horror). Compared to that UIKit is bliss. I understand the python runtime is pretty compact. Thus I'd expect there to emerge solutions similar to what is currently done with C# code. Just wrapping the runtime in the app and having the code as resouces in the app bundle that get fed into the runtime when the application launches.
