C++ or C or Objective-C

How hard is C++ when compared to Objective-c?

For a professional developer, C++ is the way to go, cause once you know C++, (with the exception of assembly) you pretty much know every other programming language.

That being said, as C++ programmer for 15+ years I prefer using something like Corona SDK which is written in Lua and gets you a lot farther in making apps in less time then developing natively. I just want to get my ideas on the screen and not have to deal with doing a game engine. Less control and some limitations sure, but it's made programming far more enjoyable.

Actually, you know imperative languages, but not necessarily functional languages.

Correct, you won't know Lisp or Scheme and also you won't know Logic programming like Prolog. I learned those in school. But for the purpose of 99%(magic number out of my head) of the software out there, understanding of procedural(imperative) programming is all you need.

Curious are there any apps written in lisp on the iPhone? lol!
