What framework & language is good for an old C++ mule.

Hello all,
I am looking to learn to write software for Mac OS X. I would like some advice and guidance on what framework to run with. Way back in 1991-3, I wrote Mac code in MacApp using MPW. I have since been writing object-oriented telecom code for UNIX/POSIX in C++. I've gone through the tutorials for Xcode 1.5 with Carbon and cocoa/objC. I can see that the cocoa framework saves a lot of coding over Carbon, which looks more like the old toolbox stuff. I really don't want to go down rant road, but I am put off by the objectionable-C syntax because, to my C/C++ trained eyes, many things seems like odd ways to define things.


Can anyone suggest a good route for me? Would I have a shorter learning curve with cocoa/Java? Would CodeWarrior/PowerPlant be a better choice because of my C/C++ background? Personal experience or even just pointers to existing web pages would be great.

Thanks,

Scott

PS: Why did Apple yank the developer discussions off the Support-->Discussions web page? It seemed like an easier format to work with.
