Randy, I agree with your response to the twisted comment above. Let me add to it that the buzz in the Mac development community is that Metrowerks (a creator of development tools for the MacOS) is planning to create compilers for their IDE to allow the use of C++, Pascal or whatever.

Even if this weren't true, no programmer worth his or her salt balks at learning a new language. A new paradigm might give some pause, but going from one OO language to another is merely a matter of syntax. A good reference book and you're on your way - it's a required skill in today's world.
