I might add that Objective-C plays perfectly well with C (since it is
actually a superset of the language) and C++. So, using OpenGL doesn't
require that you use C++ or C. However, the OpenGL API is written in
C. So basically, you really only need to write the rendering part
(OpenGL part) of your code in C. The rest can be ObjC and the two will
happily co-exist.
