But do not forget, Cocoa is only for OS X
RB promise windows and Linux. :-)

1) you can develop your main application in Objective C,
But call C++ SDK. 
This is not easy way, because require from you understanding of C++ a
little.

In this way work some developers as I know


2) Yes, Java is also a way, but Java is Java. :-)


3) We have not finished wrapper "Valentina for Cocoa".
This is planned as product like V4RB. It hide C++ SDK and should give you
pure Obj-C access.

This work have start third party developer but have not finish it.
I have no time to study ObjC and finish it.

So only hope that some good ObjC / C++ expert will finish it
And I will help of course in hard places.
