I know this has likely been re-hashed over and over. But we are having
a discussion here at work about which development language to use
moving forward. Realizing that Cocoa and Carbon are APIs, they
ultimately define the use of ObjC and C and thus the choice between
languages.
Our current implementation uses Cocoa, though the thought is that using
Carbon would provide speed increases, ease in porting to Windows, and
less languages used throughout the system.
My personal thoughts are that Cocoa and Carbon work side-by-side
without problems, where Cocoa offers a reduces the development time for
an application front end and can use C and C++ calls to access and
handle the back end / cross-platform aspects of the system.
With Apple moving the APIs closer together, the curiosity is where the
future of Cocoa lies ?
