I think you should start writing a novel about the demise of Carbon and the appearance of a super-hero who's going to save the Carbon world before it
gets dominated by horrible Cocoa monsters.
Now more seriously, I think your attack on the views expressed by Mike Dash are misguided and unfair. I love Carbon and C++. I hate Obj-C syntax
and Cocoa, but that's life. Like you, I'm upset that one of Apple's managers pull the plug on Carbon, but attacking someone who wants to inform
others about the work he / she might have on porting apps to Cocoa is somewhat mind-boggling, especially when you use an argument that every
thing that is written on this list about Cocoa must be compared to Carbon.
I am thankful that you are always willing to help others - I really am -, but this argument of yours does not make any justice to the better side of you.
Anyway, I like the democracy methaphor you have used, but perhaps you should direct your anger / ire / discomfort towards those who have made
that fateful decision and find the real wolf in your story.
My 0.02,
Johnny
