   Well here's another two cents worth of opinion.

   There should be no contraversy between C++ and Objective-C.   C++ is
great for mathematical objects, such as matrices, vectors and the
like where the operator overloading of "+", etc. makes a lot of sense.
Also in computational kernals, the in-line functions are an 
absolute must for any descent speed.   Neither can be done with
Objective-C.

   But when your objects are bigger, like windows, buttons, sliders, 
and other controls of an applications, the easy to learn Objective-C
language is more than adequate.   Also the very late binding, and
lack of compile time checking allows techniques such as delegation
to be easily implemented.   C++ is too much of a pain in this area.

   It is easy to conceive of an application that has a C++ computation
kernal with an Objective-C GUI.  All you need is the ultimate
language: Objective-C++.  What is Objective-C++?  Well if Objective-C
is a layer on top of C, the Objective-C++ is a layer on top of C++.
And it is available today from your GNU sources or any NeXT machine.

P.S.

   I had the pleasure of showing Brad Cox, the inventor of Objective-C,
his first view of compilable, linkable, and runable Objective-C++ code.
