I'd like to interject that working with languages other than C++ would 
be a good thing too. Objective-C comes to my mind first, but also C# 
and other weird languages. Obj-C code doesn't mix at all with C++ 
unless you're on an Apple-modified gcc or you are using disgusting 
wrapper functions, as an example.
I'm biased towards Obj-C over other languages, and hope that a native 
port of GNUstep will be possible. That's my long-term goal...
