The reason is, of course, that Objective-C is the language you have to use to create iOS applications — and as iPads and iPhones have risen in popularity, so has Objective-C. If you look at the raw charts then you can see that C++ has been in decline since about 2005 and Objective-C has shot up to overtake it with amazing growth. But the two charts are on different scales: if you plot both on the same chart, you can see that rather than rocketing up, Objective-C has just crawled its way past, and it is as much to do with the decline of C++. It simply hasn't reached the popularity of C++ in its heyday before 2005. However the real story is that C, a raw machine independent assembler-like language, with no pretense to be object oriented or sophisticated, has beaten all three of the object oriented heavy weights — Java, C++ and Objective C. Yes C is number one (and a close second in the transparent index)."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Objective-C+Overtakes+C%2B%2B%2C+But+C+Is+Number+One%3A+http %3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FMTCikc)http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F12%2F07%2F08%2F2228220%2Fobjective-c-overtakes-c-but-c-is-number-one%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceboo k)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/07/08/2228220/objective-c-overtakes-c-but-c-is-number-one?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
