This [OT] thread now has 100 messages in it and has gone astray from the
the original [OT] discussion.
Although there are many interesting opinions and comments, I'd like to
reel this back into Mac OS X development topics.
If you have any questions or concerns about the direction of Carbon and
Cocoa, or their representation at WWDC, please email me directly.
Thanks,

I don't see this as being off topic. By taking this discussion offline,
the voice of the developer goes unheard. These offline discussion can
go into the round file at anytime but a live discussion or debate helps
Apple see what developers are really struggling with. I realize as a
company you have to make decisions that are best for the company but if
those decisions don't involve (us) the customers, you may be hurting
yourselves and us. We are your customers, whether you know it or not.
People love their Macintoshes and wouldn't dream of moving to Windows.
However, what really keeps that afloat... the developers. The topic
while not related directly to the core purpose of the forum is really
where many of the developers who use carbon and have issue are. If you
remove topic there will be silence where there should be done. It may
be politically expedient to silence the masses but the ripple effect
will still be the same.
Making Objective-C the only interface, which is where it looks like were
are heading is language genocide, not standardization. It also creates
a language desert. As for example, there have been an increase in
non-carbon examples, which lead you believe there really is only one
interface to that technology. If you create a language desert, the base
of developers is going to dry up.
I would like to see a procedural language interface continue AND when
examples come out, they also be done agnostically (carbon).
