As far as I’ve been able to find, there seems to be one option for building websites/web applications in Objective-J with Cappuccino.
The .NET is a huge framework that of course can compile for the web. I don’t think it’s a stupid question to ask whether or not Objective-C can be used for the same purpose.
Apple doesn’t advertise being able to develop websites with Objective-C, but I thought I’d ask anyways.
Other than Cappuccino, is it possible or just completely not possible?
Your question isn’t stupid – but it is very broad and hard to answer. Are you talking about outputting HTML? Or are you talking about server side programming? Objective-C using Cocoa, or just vanilla Objective-C?
To start with, anything using cocoa frameworks cannot be compiled for the web. Period. You can imitate the Cocoa frameworks (like Cappuccino does), but it is not a small task.
It is possible to do web development with Objective-c (server-side), but it is not really feasible at the moment because you would have to write the libraries from scratch, and with so many other options out there for web development with complete frameworks (Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, etc) there really isn’t any reason to do so.
