Okay, even though I swore that I wouldn't add fuel to this fire, I'm
totally confused as to the level of confusion that I'm reading
(discounting the C/C++ vs. ObjC arguments). From what I see, Carbon
isn't going away, it's just not getting the full 64 bit monty. How
does that affect my Carbon UI development? It doesn't unless I need
to display a 2TB+ image in a window, or display 2TB+ of cell contents
simultaneously in a table (yeh, right). So my confusion is that I
don't understand how not having a 64 bit UI API will really affect
Carbon users. If I've got a huge data model that requires 64 bit
value handling, I don't need to use Carbon UI functions, so I'm not
limited by Carbon's lack of 64 bit underpinnings. Is not having a
"UI is 64 bit" checkbox on product datasheets that big of a deal for
customers' perception of a product?
Please illuminate my darkness - what am I obviously not seeing?
