I am not a big fan of C++ either (I much prefer Obj-C) and the only
reason I root for Obj-C++ is to remove some of the C constraints and be
able to declare variables only where I need them (for(int i=0; ...))
which is something that I am really used to do (as a Java programmer)
and that took me some time to re-adjust to when I started learning
Obj-C... In short, I am for ObjC++ for pure selfish convenience even
though its re-introduction has obviously a much deeper impact on
development than just coding practices! ;)
Just my $.02.
Best,
Chris
