If your goal is to convince us of the superiority of C++, I think you're wasting your time. I think most people reading this list would quite disagree, but even if we were convinced, so what? We read this list because we program in Cocoa. To do so, we must either use Objective C or Java, not C++. If you're so offended by Objective C, might I suggest you use a C++ framework and not Cocoa? And can we get back to actual Cocoa programming topics?

Read the whole thing, top to bottom. Just one question. Why does he totally ignore the subject of generic programming, type computing, template metaprogramming, concept checking, traits, policies, and all of the other compile-time features of C++ which could be viewed as a form of weak typing? The STL even uses the notion of concepts: anything that meets the requirements for a particular concept can be used in a sequence, algorithm, iterator, view, whatever.

Now the case for incorrect linkage.  Would you rather have an link

occur at compile-time while you're developing the application or at
run-time perhaps after your application is in the field or has already
shipped?
