Or do what I do, and use Objective-C for the basic GUI layer and C++
for everything else.
In my case, I'm really comfortable with C++ paradigms and need to use
them for all the rest of my work, so I've managed to square away all
the Objective-C stuff into a few Mac-specific files. Everything works
great, and the program logic can use C++.
I don't think any company which was serious about entering the Mac
market would shy away from developing their app just over Objective-C;
you can write a full-fledged Cocoa app with a very small amount of
Objective-C if you want. It's really up to you whether you want to
convert all those std::vectors to NSArrays or not... it'll compile and
run either way ;)

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
error
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?
