I think Apple is making mistake by not featuring any development in Carbon. If developer wants to develop application for multiple platform, he has to use Carbon & I think apple does not want to allow other programmer to develop application for any other platform. Carbon is truly a great language which does not bind itself to any language strictly while cocoa extensively binds itself to obj-c.
I don't think it's really ever been a secret that Carbon was intended primarily as a bridge for OS9 apps to port to OS10.
That is absurd and inflammatory. It is revisionist history in every sense of the term.

No, it isn't. Back when OS10 was first introduced, Apple's developer pages kept suggesting that new projects be started using Cocoa rather than Carbon.

They STILL have comments on their Carbon pages to the effect of, "Hey, check out Cocoa"

I think John Nack of Adobe explains it better than I - as he would say - Cocoa is not the One True Way™.

<http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/04/photoshop_lr_64.html>

They're going to release a 64 bit version, and it's going to use Cocoa. They're just going to be a little late with it. So? He doesn't seem to be ranting at Apple.

That was a number of years ago. I'm not incredibly surprised if Apple feels that Carbon's outlived its usefulness.
Nope that is not the reason they gave us at WWDC - for what it's worth.

If you didn't think Apple had abandoned Carbon as useless, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Really, objective C isn't that hard to learn.
Non sequitur. Neither is Portuguese.

Portuguese isn't nearly as similar to English as Objective C is to C++ and plain old C. If you know C++, you're already most of the way there.
