Please follow up to comp.object, or to the original author directly.

Long-time readers of comp.lang.c++ / comp.lang.objective-c can
remember a dozen times already where this comparison has degenerated
into notes wars.  Therefore, we ask that language comparisons take 
place in a neutral forum such as comp.object.  Please leave comp.lang.c++
open to answer the questions of C++ users.  Please leave comp.lang.objective-c
open to answer the questions of Objective-C users.

Comp.object is a more reasonable forum for comparing language features --
but even there, I suspect readers are beginning to tire of language
"comparisons."

Programmers can and do disagree what languages and language features best
meet their individual programming needs.  Programmers can and do disagree
on performance comparisons.  Caveat emptor.
