There is a lot of hyperbole going around by some extremely verbose
individuals. I wouldn't run screaming from Carbon just yet.

If you are looking at this from the point of view to find a
viable replacement for Carbon for Mac port of Lazarus, then you are
IMHO quite possible on the wrong track - I would suggest to stick
with the Carbon toolkit at the Mac side and use whatever toolkit for
Windows and X.
Well, the idea would be writing a lazarus port with cocoa.
I would love to stick with Carbon, it is really a great framework and
worked very well until now. The problem is that based on recent news,
as well as discussion on the mailling list I got the fealing that
Carbon has no future, and thus I should start all new projects on
Cocoa. And start cocoa versions of the carbon projects, to be prepared
for the future, just in case this proves true.
And even if it doesn't prove true, this work would be useful when we
need to use functionality that only exist for Cocoa, like the menubar
extras class.
Also, Lazarus already works with native 64-bits Windows, native
64-bits Linux (and others unixes as well). We won't restrict our
native Mac port to 32-bits. (AFAIK the 64-bits Carbon version was
dropped by Apple).
