I *much* prefer Objective-C.  The reasons are not practical, however.
The only time a *user* must use Objective-C is if they want to 
understand or contribute to the base code of swarm.  (Note that
I'm assuming you must read code to understand software... [grin]
I wouldn't want that point to slip by anyone, thereby losing my 
chance to argue about it. ;-)

Java should suffice.  But, I would encourage anyone to use both.  The
insight that can be gained by using multiple languages and tools is
very invaluable.
