Re: [cdt-dev] Happy 100K CDT!

I guess the "rumor" is coming from "http://gorumors.com/apple-objective-c-new-program-language-ios/2753155 
". And the clarifications "http://waffle.wootest.net/2010/07/06/xlang-clarifications/ 
"


Actually the WebObjects team uses Eclipse for their development. So  
maybe not embrace "CDT" but Eclipse is definitely used with Apple.
