Objective-C is not C++.  It is an object-oriented language based on C,
as is C++, but the two languages are different.  Objective-C is "like
Smalltalk" and C++ is "like Simula", or so I've heard.  I've programmed
in them both and prefer C++ for the speed of the resulting program and
also because it makes more sense to me.
