The Java stubs are generated from the Objective C protocol
descriptions. In that sense Objective C API drives the Java API.
However, stronger typing in Java suggests many compatible improvements
that can be made to the Objective C API, and we are making them.
Both will be supported, but Java is in many ways both a better
language and a stronger environment. As far as I can tell, few
existing Objective C users of Swarm really do anything fancy enough
with the Objective C runtime to endure its weaker typing. In the near
term, the only remaining advantage of Objective C Swarm is speed.
