Hey, I didn't write that, Ian did! :)

If I had to make a choice, I'd pick ObjC++ as my favourite language, so I know damn well what the extension stands for (same as the rarely used .cc vs. .c).

Ian does have a point, though ... and who can fathom the impenetrable ways of the Apple engineer who chose the extension? :)
