- The bundled compiler on the NeXT supports both C++ and Objective-C, but most
- development are still in Objective-C. The differences (philosophical and
- design) have been beaten to death already so I won't bore you to tears with it.
- Learning C++ won't make Objective-C any easier to learn (some have argued the
- opposite). What you should really learn is OOD and OOP (object-oriented design
- and programming), since you can use these skills in any language. Contrary to
- popular to belief, just using an object-oriented language (such as C++) does
- not make one an object-oriented programmer.
