Re: Is Carbon Viable?

I have no desire to learn Cocoa. I don't like the Objective C, and I

what is essentially a dead language.

I'm a C/C++ programmer, too, but I'm wondering if that's not also a dying language. The kids these days are all learning new languages, like Java, Ruby and Python. Apple seems to be working on supporting their Cocoa API with these languages, which share the introspection properties of Objective-C (which C++ lacks).

Maybe in the long run, Objective-C becomes less important to the Cocoa
APIs and also C programmers will follow the Cobol and assembly
language programmers into obscurity.

I just hope the later doesn't happen faster than I can learn the new languages.
