You guys are scaring me. I'm reading this and the "64-bit Carbon"
thread and wondering if I missed some news?
All I see is that Carbon will not be 64-bit in Leopard.
Why do I need 64-bit? Things are working pretty smoothly in 32-bit
Universal.
Is there some other kind of announcement I missed?
Has all further Carbon development at Apple been stopped?
Is Carbon support being dropped? Now or at some future announced date?
Yes, I have spent the last two years learning Carbon and basically
rewriting a lot of code using Quartz and HIView. Would I be pissed
if this was no longer going to be supported? You bet!
But, I'm basically happy with Carbon the way it is and hope it has a
long shelf life. Did I miss something? Am I delusional?
I wish someone from Apple would make a definitive statement about the
future of Carbon, so instead of guessing and panicking we would at
least know where we stand. These are business decisions that have
very real costs. Having the rug pulled out could be crippling.
So, what is the simple answer to the subject of this thread??
Is Carbon Viable?
If I am current on 32-bit Universal and not using any deprecated
functions(well almost), what kind of shelf life could I expect? Even
if that requires moderate updates, if I am at least able to continue
to build and ship my product on Macintosh I would consider that viable.
