Objective-J is actually a fairly thin layer on top of JavaScript. It adds classical inheritance to JavaScript, not unlike what most JavaScript libraries try to do, except it cleans it up (IMO) with Objective-C style syntax.

Even SproutCore is resorts to preprocessing code to get syntax enhancements, like their sc_super(whatever) which is converted to arguments.callee.base(this, whatever).
