   The owners of NeXT machines don't have  any choice if programming for
the Graphical User Interface kit of objects.   It is Objective-C, period.

   However, for Classes that don't need the GUI, we also have C++ on 
every machine that has the compiler.   In fact, we have Objective-C++ in
that our code that seems to be Objective-C can message  C++ classes.
That is, from Objective-C code we  can issue function calls to 
C++ classes, thus I call the new NeXT compiler an Objective-C++ compiler.

   Brad Cox, of Objective-C fame, visited me about a year ago.    At the
lunch we had together, we talked about the differences between C++ and
Objective-C.   After lunch, I concluded and said to Brad that what the
world needed is Objective-C++.  Today we have it. 

   Since the NeXT compiler is based on GNU software, NeXT must submit its 
modifications to GNU.  The next release of gcc, as I understand it, will
contain NeXT's modifications to make it an Objective-C compiler.  I can
only assume that the release after that will make gcc a Objective-C++
compiler.
