Hi  
Was wondering if you could possibly program wxwidgets in Objective C?  
Thanks

You might be able to use Objective C with the WxCocoa port. But if you  
were only interested in targetting OS X + Cocoa I would say you’re  
better off using the Apple developer tools (eg Interface Builder, XCode)  
directly rather than WxWidgets.

There is also Ruby-Cocoa which is a ruby-objective C bridge.
