I am interested in the differences between C++ and Objective C. I seem to hear a lot more about C++ than Objective C. Is C++ likely to become quite common in the future, or are there other contenders? I am sorry if this has been discussed before. If it has, please just e-mail me your opinions and/or a summary of what was discussed before. Thanks in advance. ---- Dan Christensen, Computer Graphics Lab, jdchrist@watcgl.uwaterloo.ca University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ont. jdchrist@watcgl.waterloo.edu
