Maybe the writer is confusing C++ with C.

  I see the C == C++ formulation even more often. It's like comparing a kayak to one of those flying battleship things from The Avengers. (I'd rather be kayaking than waiting for that crazy machine to just fall from the sky, but that's me)

    Agreed. The "C/C++" designation is all too common. What I was getting at is that any experienced Objective-C programmer would also know C. C++ is an entirely different matter.

      To be fair, C++ distanced itself from "C with classes" with time, and as better libraries came on board that you don't have to bother with system libraries (mostly) C++ today is far from what it was 10 years ago (also, its much less relevant today)

      The interesting part of knowing Obj-C is knowing all the Apple system stuff, because no one uses it outside the Apple ecosystem. Incidentally, I've been using Go lately, and it's much closer to the "modern C" feel that I want than either Obj-C or C++. It's a remarkably reality-driven language.
