I don't know how Jo did it but in my case the model will (most likely need to) be C++ and the UI (which is merely for interim progress reporting and debugging) will be Obj-C, mainly Cocoa. The main process does not need a GUI. Last time I seriously used Obj-C++ was back in the Xcode 3 days so just wanted to find out what has changed. Jo's answer is most comforting.
