heard that Objective-C might be the better choice for Cocoa, especially
for heavy graphical stuff. Is there really a big difference?
ObjC is *much* better language for just plain anything, thanks to a
plethora of reasons stated nauseatingly often. For starters, let's say
"proper class support", "categories", "polymorphism", "message
forwarding", or "no garbage collector". Just try to scan archives.
Beside that, being compiled it's also faster, although, for a properly
designed application, that should not be paramount generally, and if
there happens to be a bottleneck in any computational stuff, you may
find you need to go to plain C anyway (well, which is much easier in
ObjC too ;))
