I wouldn't say Objective-C is "elegant" in the same way a scripting language can be, but it and its common libraries (i.e., Cocoa/NextSTEP) illustrate some very sound API design, and object-orientation in the Alan Kay-intended/SmallTalk sense.

edit: sorry, missed your edit. I'd probably agree with you and chc now. Obj-C was a clever hack for its time, but compared to modern dynamic/scripting languages, it's not really that special -- outside from being relatively high-performance due to its C compatibility, as you mentioned.

Why doesn't she simply offer App Store coupon codes to existing users? Seems like that would solve her "PR" problems, and they expire after their first use so there shouldn't be any worry of piracy or anything like that, as with serial numbers.
