Or any number of the c++ carbon wrappers presented at Mac hack etc.
Or any number of the c++ xplatform tool kits available, QT, wxWindows
etc.

Mac
OS X is simply THE best operating system on the market today IMHO.
After all, it has a rock solid Unix core. Apple pioneered the user
interface and STILL has the most intuitive UI. They have a killer
development IDE with Xcode and they have a very well designed API in
Cocoa. The fact that it is written in Objective-C is the only thing
holding them back. If it were written in C++, there would be a huge
migration of developers to the Mac platform. Why? The fact is that
C++
is simply a mainstream language and Objective-C is not. No one
(except
Mac developers of course) are interested in it because nobody else
uses
it.
If having a C++ interface capable of producing professional
applications is the only thing "holding them back" (a statement with a
world of assumptions in-of-itself), then we have nothing to worry
about. Developers can create C++ applications on the Mac through the
Carbon API.
