Why would I want to use Objective C ? Can any one give me a
short description of the pros and cons of the two
languages?

There is a lot of support for C++ in terms of PD software
and vendors but hardly any for Objective C. Perhaps this
will change when the new g++ come out. This lack of broad
support is a definite limitation to Objective C whatever its
attributes. What is so superior about Objective C that would
induce me to abandon this support?

As I understand it Stepstone does not support an
interpretive environment for the current version of the
language. Is there any product comparable to Saber-C++
available for Objective C?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
