On macOS C++ is not the primary language (except for kernel drivers). It is 
ObjC and Swift.

IMHO, objc++ exists because there are some interesting C++ based libraries 
(e.g. data processing, business logic, file format decoders) where it should be 
possible to integrate them into objc based GUI apps. So in MVC architecture, 
C++ would be mainly used for providing an existing data model.

I wonder what a use case of the reverse wrapping would be.
