Technically you could. :) Just install a Linux or OpenBSD on the iBook
and run Rebol/View for Linux/PPC. Obviously it is not the optimal
solution for some (most?) of us.

Different tool fits different purposes. Cocoa is most often used with
Objective-C, although Java, Python and some others can be used. That
means compiling and linking. Some things just are more suited for
scripting languages. Especially when not equipped with a G5 and XCode,
which speeds up compiling and linking and provides some
change-code-while-program-is-running capability.
For some things Cocoa is great, for other things other are better.
