Isn't Qt based on Carbon too?

I don't know, but that doesn't matter. TrollTech is a big company and I'm sure they will port it quickly if a need arrises (like for example when there is no 64-bits Carbon).

LOL Right. Unfortunately it won't work that way. You can't just convert a framework that's based on a set of APIs to wrap a completely different framework that requires a completely different approach to application design and uses a different language (Objective-C). At least not quickly, and if they actually did that the result wouldn't work with all of the existing Qt projects. Furthermore, lack of 64-bit support is not likely have have TrollTech in a panic anytime soon.


I get the impression you aren't really familiar with Cocoa. It's not just a different set of APIs.
