Seems to me JavaScript is easier to develop with than Obj-C/Java - one evidence is that they pretty much require a heavy IDE while JS is often developed on glorified text editors. But even if that's not the case, new devs can get started by using open source software like Wordpress etc and learn to modify it as they go. I don't know of any equivalent in the app space.
