I prefer to write applications in a mix of C, Scheme/Lisp, or Haskell. I can probably write faster and more stable iPhone apps with these tools than a 10-man-strong team can with C and Objective-C.

Have you?

Yes.

Can you probably, or have you actually build in shorter time (or did you really mean apps that run faster) apps that are more stable than that created by a 10-man strong Obj-C team for the iPhone?

If so, would you say it was a function of the quality of the other programmers, or could it be distilled to purely tools?

Genuine interest (since I love languages for their own sake and the expressiveness they allow): what tools + languages did you use?

We should just take your word for it?

If you don't want to, you can just ignore my comment.
