The issue with learning objective c is the lack of portability. Yes the language runs on everything via the use of gnustep, but on first appearances its is nextstep ported to modern hardware.

As a disclaimer objective c is my language of choice, my plan this year is to make the code portable.

If you want to make your code portable to Android, consider helping the effort to port Objective-C to it (specifically, enough to get cocos2d running).

Some info here: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/25414

Don't port objective-C to android for Cocoas 2D. Cocoas2D is a fluster-cuck enough on iOS.

Works well enough that many successful games use it. I'd welcome cocos2d on android.

Thats insane, why not just port cocos2d itself (I think there might have been an effort before) - after all the original cocos2d was python, so it's been ported across languages before.
