I have no idea. I believe Objective-C is completely useless. However, I
believe Fortran *might* be useful for some scientific applications that
could be used on embedded devices. But the fact that no-one ever
complained about our Fortran support being broken (the runtime library
was never copied to the target) is a fairly strong indication that
nobody is using this.
