Yeah I was struck by that line too.
After 10 years as a C++ and Java developer, and 3 years of Objective-C, Objective-C is by far my preferred language (although it's an absolute must to use with an auto-completing IDE due to its wordiness).

Plus isn't syntax mocking the same as editor mocking? Expected and pointless.
e.g. the primitive vs. object distinction, the lack of closures (gcd is a poor replacement) and the way they allow a rethink of control flow, the neat things you can do because the stack is an object (restart exceptions with values! coroutines!)
I'm fine with the compromise, I just wish it was different.
I had hopes that MacRuby would turn into a supported systems programming language, but it's not to be.
