I saw a talk of one of you guys... you mentioned that it took a lot of experimentation before you even considered not using plain JS. But you should also not downplay your achievement! You did a great (maybe not complete) port of Objective-C/Cocoa which was good enough to be used by a lot of people and good enough for Motorola. :)
And Apple is certainly in a better position to do such ports than you were back then: They have the full source code of every framework they developed. I am not saying it is trivial or not much work but it is doable over a couple of years... don't you think? You have certainly more internal knowledge than I do.
