The reasoning being different though, back then Apple wasn't sure Objective-C would take off among Mac OS developer crowd, used to Object Pascal and C++, Java support and its high integration with OS APIs was a kind of Plan B.
Objective-C was actually embraced by the community, only Java heads cared about the bridge, and it was eventually killed.
I feel it was a lost opportunity, but what do I know.
