You're confusing a library/framework with the language that library is
written in. Cocoa, Carbon, AppKit, Foundation, CoreServices,
CoreFoundation, CoreGraphics, IOKit, etc... these are
libraries/frameworks.
Objective-C, Objective-C++, C, C++... these are languages.
Some of the libraries I listed are pure C or C++, some Objective-C,
and most are a mixture of all the languages.
Apple has deprecated libraries/frameworks. They haven't stopped
supporting any languages though. It's 100% safe to keep writing apps
that use C++ if you are also using Cocoa. A large part of OS X itself
is C++ (see: IOKit and Directory Services).
