      Hello,

        I am at a crossroads, wanting to start a development project, and
wanting to use an OOL, but I'm not sure which to start with. C++ (should I say
that here?) seems to be somewhat less endowed with abilties than either
Smalltalk or Objective-C. 
        The main reason I have not chosen C++ is that reusability doesn't seem
to be as easily accomplished as it would be in Smalltalk or the hybrid-C
product, Objective-C. 

         Can anyone expand on this? I would certainly appreciate it, please
e-mail replies.... comp.lang.c++ seems to be overflowing, and the only thing I
have heard consistently concerning a reason to use C++ over Objective-C or
Smalltalk is "Its going to be the OOL standard" which really bugs the heck out
of me.

                Thanks.                                 Jon Johnston.
                                                        612-448-6433.
