The issue with learning objective c is the lack of portability. Yes the language runs on everything via the use of gnustep, but on first appearances its is nextstep ported to modern hardware.

As a disclaimer objective c is my language of choice, my plan this year is to make the code portable.

If you want to make your code portable to Android, consider helping the effort to port Objective-C to it (specifically, enough to get cocos2d running).

Some info here: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/25414

Don't port objective-C to android for Cocoas 2D. Cocoas2D is a fluster-cuck enough on iOS.
Thats insane, why not just port cocos2d itself (I think there might have been an effort before) - after all the original cocos2d was python, so it's been ported across languages before.
Works well enough that many successful games use it. I'd welcome cocos2d on android.
