Someone also said that C# can be used under Mono and even though this is 
true, C# still remains a proprietary language that can be totally changed if 
MS wants that, as well as Objective C can be changed if Apple wants that.
So what matters is if the most important developers for a specific 
language/platform are releasing the code as open source or they keep it 
proprietary and I don't see a big number of programmers developing code in 
C# and Objective C.

About Java... you may be right. :-)
