C++ doesn't support the dynamic typing and message passing that
Objective-C does.
There really isn't a way to do message passing with C++ syntax.
For example, say I have:
id myObject;
... set up myObject here ...
[id doSomeFunkySelector:10];
In C++, the compiler needs to know about the function ahead of time, or
it simply can't compile it.
In Objective-C, you can just call whatever and the system will either
figure it out and do the right thing at runtime, or throw an exception
if it can't be done.
There really isn't a way to meld static and dynamic binding.

What hinders me from using C++ for cocoa programming?
The Byte-Code is the same and the headers could be translated.
[] msgs could be calls to ObjC_SendMsg or what its called. If gcc
couldnt be convinced to interpret [] in c++ just fine.
