- NeXTstep is based on Objective-C, for more info look at the discussion in
- comp.sys.next.advocacy Why, Why, WHY use Objective-C.
-
- Like C++ is is object oriented, but there the similarities end. C++ is also
- bundled with NeXTstep, so you can use either, but because the Interface Builder
- prodces Objective-C code it is probably easier
