I do remember Apple mentioning, I and believe delaying 10.0, because
they wanted to make sure App Kit and Foundation were available in
Java.
Thinking app developers would be terrified of learning Objective-C.
That didn't happen.
Sure you're not thinking of delaying the relase of Rhapsody when they
came up with the whole OS X strategy with Carbon, because they were
afraid developers wouldn't want to rewrite their OS 9 apps in Cocoa?
:-)
Almost positive about the Java thing.
As for Rhapsody, they couldn't have, at least, made developers feel any
worse than they already had. I remember getting ADC release after ADC
release clearly stating you'd need to rewrite your entire app for the
new Copland APIs. No such Carbon luck. Oh yeah, and they should be
rewriting anyways as they needed OpenDoc parts, not apps.
I'll bet more than one developer wanted to make-out with Steve Jobs
after he came on board and then Carbon appeared, along with
Rhapsody/MacOS X.
