Are class libraries comparable to the fundamental Smalltalk classes
available for C++ commercially or otherwise? Does anyone envisage
selling class libraries which are well tested and documented (something
like PPI's software IC packages). We are specifically interested in class
libraries for TCP/IP and ISO/OSI process communication and for developing
human interfaces (comparable to Smalltalk's Model-View-Controller). 

We are currently  considering the use of C++ or Objective-C: the
availability of class libraries and support tools such as an interactive
browser, debugger and change-management system (comparable to Smalltalk) 
are an important part of the decision. Are these available or being
developed?
