Though that makes it impossible to port it to GnuStep the advantage
would be that you get the best of both worlds (C++ computation/Obj-C
fast and maintainable gui building)
Sounds like you are propogating the myth that C++ is faster than ObjC
...
Where like is compared with like, that's not the case, and in my
experience
ObjC is faster because it's simpler and you can therefore devote more
time to good design and optimisation.
However, I agree that using an existing C library for numerical work
makes sense. Using a C++ library would involve more work since the
library would need wrapping in plain C to be used from ObjC as
Objective-C++ is not yet available in the GNU compiler (ie for GNUstep).
