In my post I suggested to watch a presentation. Watch it, you'll understand what Kate Gregory argues, and I completely agree with her point of view.

I will watch it, thanks. But that won't change the fact that C++ is not at all a superset of the C language, they are genuinely different languages. Objective-C however is technically a strict superset of C. All C code runs as expected in Objective-C. This is not true in C++ where the same C code might compile and produce different output when run in a C++ context, or that several C idioms are not possible in C++.
