I understand and frankly while our company is well connected in the
Microsoft space (we get our own engineering buddy there and a few
other really nice indulgences), we are nobody to Apple. I'd like to
think our OS X only developments that we're looking at doing would
become big and successful, but unless we can show Apple that we can
bring in a few million new users I don't think they care if we use
Carbon, Cocoa, or never write a Mac app in the end.
To be fair, MS treated us similarly until they realized that our
company alone drove a large percentage of new users from Palm.
I suppose. Just FYI the reason I posted this is simply that its a
more solid confirmation of the insinuations I've seen on this
list for Carbon. Right now I'm personally trying to evaluate a
few projects we're trying to do and Carbon was my choice
framework. As I wrote before I *like* Cocoa and the ideas behind
Obj-C, but I just can't seem to work within Obj-C. It just does
not feel right. Since I don't have anyone over me to decide for
me, I have to do so myself and I'm on the fence of what to do in
our efforts. For me development is fun. I enjoy it. I do it
because I enjoy it and I don't enjoy Obj-C. So this entire
discussion for me is pertinent as a way to help decide what I'm
going to do.
You've really got to write that letter to Deric Horn. What's going
on over at central right now is iPhone and Safari Windows browser
share.
