sgonyea··on Why Objective-C is Hard
What lots of others have already mentioned.

Also be aware, there is something called "Objective-C++" which is a superset of C++.

The syntax is not "weird" unless you just don't know the language. Acclimation is part of the learning process.

In my opinion, the syntax/language is pretty great. I enjoy ObjC greatly. My main beef with it is that it's less than portable. ObjFW attempts to solve this, and is a phenomenal framework already.
