Hey, if you think object bolting in C++ is bad, check out Matlab some time -- amazing they managed to pull it off at all. :-) Pragmatically speaking, C++ is pretty good -- it offered a lot of the power of "pure" OO languages such as Smalltalk or LISP, and as history has shown, none of those languages have ever been hugely successful commercially... whereas C++ very much has been. I.e., the choice wasn't ever C++ or Smalltalk, it was C++ or C. I am a little surprised that Apple decided to make Objective C the primary programming language of iThings ... I suppose that's what you end up with if you don't like C++ that much but don't want to suck all the performance out of your app using something like LISP.
