> If I had to run a monolingual web stack, I would choose Objective-C for the sole language.

This article is severely undermined by its conflating internet and web. Objective-C doesn't have a significant presence in the browser, and is consequently a useless language for achieving a monolingual web stack. The article demonstrates a complete lack of awareness of the frontend side of the web and assumes that iOS apps are this frontend. There is not a single mention of JavaScript, or even the word "browser".

It also seems to be overly focused on the idea of computational performance, when in many cases applications are IO-bound. The descending cost of compute power means this efficiency edge in computation is decreasing in importance. Also, no mention of things like PyPy? Overall, the article has a very narrow-minded and misguided view of the web.
