Sound like a couple of Fortran programmers arguing Ratfor versus EFL. C++ and Objective C are just kludges. Oh, they'll be around for a few years yet, until the object oriented language world settles down. But they are to C what Ratfor and EFL were to Fortran: something to give a modicum of features to a language that isn't on the leading edge any more. (don't get me wrong, I program in C pretty much, for the same reason you're using ObjC or C++. But I don't fool myself arguing over the aesthetics of a couple of preprocessors) -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
