what makes anyone think Cocoa will still be for sale one year from
now ?
What makes you think it's for sale _now_?
It
probably will be, but what incentive does Apple have to continue public
support of Cocoa ? After all, Cocoa is their "secret" competitive
advantage. Some one or two developer shop might compete iTunes or
iMovie or
iPhoto by using Cocoa. Apple can achieve all of their goals by keeping
Cocoa
for internal use only. Carbon is now a proven API. Apple may just
give up
supporting multiple APIs and focus on the important one.
I can't see any reason for them to discontinue external use of Cocoa so
long as they have an internal use for Cocoa.
They need developers (any developers!) on the platform more than
anything else.
