Thanks for the j2objc tip! I will definitely be looking into that. I thought Thrift was as far as I could reach into iOS without Objective-C.
I haven't used J2EE. My experience with Django years ago made me framework adverse. I will be posting a sample app in a month or two that shows what I mean.
I've tried explaining this using terms like system programming or high efficiency programming. I guess it is best to just say "explicit memory management", so I updated the post.
I took this out because it was unclear. I meant scripting in the sense that Python and Ruby are called "scripting languages". One possible policy is to use Java for your application, and something like Python to write scripts for stuff like devops or whatever else "scripting" is. Instead of this, I prefer use one language as much as possible, currently Java.
