I would consider it a bad engineering decision (to put it mildly) to
choose a language based on the virtually nonexistent impedance it may
place on someone's desire to reverse-engineer the library. If someone
wants to disassemble your code and figure out what it does, they will,
regardless of what language you choose. Choosing C over Objective-C
gives no advantage in this regard, while sacrificing everything it
offers.
