Well, a friend asked why C++ is not used instead of learning a new
language.
I couldnt give him a sufficient answer
NeXT chose Objective-C in the 80s. Cocoa uses Objective-C because it
evolved from NeXT origins and everything was already written in that
language. Obviously they made a good decision :)
It is possible to use Objective-C code from other programming
languages, but probably not reasonably from C++. Python, Ruby, Perl,
Java, and several other languages with a suitably dynamic runtimes have
bridges available so that developers may embrace and extend Objective-C
code without actually writing any.
