A comment on Ask HN: c++ or iPhone?.

C++ programming is like a monkey fucking a ball. You would probably want to stab your eyes out.

C / Objective-C will probably provide you with more joy and opportunity to work on the iPhone.

I suspect other mobile platforms either use C or Java for programming apps (as opposed to C++), but I might be wrong.

I think you're right, the little c++ programming I have done has been an exercise in frustration. But it was mainly because of my lack of skill. And I do think that iPhone programming would me more fun...
