If one searches for mixing objective-c and c++ this link invariably comes up as THE solution.
Using C++ With Objective-C
Unfortunately it's dead. Does anyone know where this article has moved, have an alternative article, or have some code demonstrating two way chatter between objective-c and c++ objects (calling both from the other). I can architect around an inability to call objective-c from c++, but I would much prefer to have the freedom to perform callbacks.
I have gotten as far as instantiating a c++ object and calling methods on it from objective-c++, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get the c++ to call back or how to properly declare the c++ object in the objective-c++ object's header file.

While Objective-C is still supported by Apple and will likely not be deprecated anytime soon, there will be no updates to the language. Objective-C is as good as it's ever going to get.
There are a lot of indicators telling us there's still a ton of legacy Objective-C code, both from Apple and from other developers, that's still in use.
Objective-C is so pervasive in iOS that it's impossible to completely remove it. Apple continues to maintain libraries written in Objective-C, so we should expect Objective-C to be treated as a (mostly) first class language in iOS. At other companies, legacy code remains.
First released in 2014, Swift was developed as a replacement for Apple's earlier programming language Objective-C, as Objective-C had been largely unchanged since the early 1980s and lacked modern language features.
