First, be aware that all Cocoa apps use Carbon, for example for menus
and printing. It's possible to mix Cocoa, Carbon and Java in almost
every imaginable combination. Java 1.3.x on Mac OS X is Carbon based;
Java 1.4.x is Cocoa based.
Thanks for the differences. Most favoured Cocoa in terms of flexibility
and correctness. But the last one shows that Cocoa doesn't win every
point:
- If an application has separators or checkmarks in its dock menu,
it's Carbon.
OTOH, I wish the above differences would go away, and I imagine some
will in future OS releases.
Well, yes, I imagine MS and Macromedia and Adobe hope for Carbon to
catch up as well.
