Sorry to contradict you, but working on AbiWord, even on the Cocoa
front-end require a knowledge of C++ because it requires implementing
C++ classes for the XP framework. And also because of lack of
documentation, it requires you to read other platforms code.
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
