Obj-C, unlike C++, is a strict superset of C. All C code works in Obj-C (bar the new keywords), unlike with C++. I really think you're missing the point here. Apart from the controversial syntax, Objective-C's elegance sets it apart from C++ more than anything else. Objects and classes are really C structs. It's all introspectable, and it's all admirably simple (2.0 additions aside).
C++ is a convoluted, over-wrought solution to a problem which Objective-C solved with minimal additions to C. And Cocoa is leagues ahead of anything you have in C++.
