In reality, a bunch of frameworks not listed as safe (from any 
language, not just ObjC) but the common denominator for most of them 
seems to be "connecting to the WindowServer" [see the comment on java]

There is no prohibition on using Objective-C at all, just frameworks 
that use UI or manipulate graphics, and most of which connect to the 
WindowServer
