Of course, the whole idea of a GUI came out of Xerox PARC, it was never Apple's invention.
The GUI was actually invented as a better way to interact with the (then) new Smalltalk language, ironically one that is now restricted from apple's "walled garden" Even more ironically, Objective-C is basically a C/Smalltalk hybrid (the memory safety of C coupled with all the blazing speed of smalltalk - what's not to like!), so it makes sense that C would also be allowed. As for C++? That's anybody's guess!
