I know that they are different.
I am not sure if I can be any clearer than that:

Does it take 5+ times more time to code the SAME thing in objective C than to code the same thing as a website?
Example: picture rating site. Same thing created as a website cost X$. Same thing created as Ios app cost 8X$ or 10X$.
Even considered that objective C programmer's hourly rate is a bit more than "regular" programmer's it still implies that app would take at least 5 times more time to create.
Is that true or not? Simple question.
It is difficult to imagine such a programming language that would be so unflexible that people would need to waste 5 times more time to do the same thing...
