Anybody can. I believe RunRev stated at the conference that they would be
creating new versions of the standard as Widgets. If there is a control you
need that RunRev, or some other developer, hasn't made available then you
can wrap it up in a widget. I'm not sure how wrapping up native controls
will work exactly, but you use a special version of the LiveCode language
(modular LiveCode?) to handle it. No Objective C or C.

At the conference we were told that we should see Alphas before the end of
the year. I've seen a bit of activity on Widgets in the commits on Github
so they are actively working on it.

Well, if it wasn't I don't think they would have gone through all of the
work of reworking the entire windowing/messaging system to use Cocoa. It
was a big project.
