Lines: 24 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. UUCP: {rosevax, crash, orator}!orbit!pnet51!biggity ARPA: crash!orbit!pnet51!biggity@nosc.mil INET: biggity@pnet51.cts.com
