Carbon was originally Pascal based, at least as far as the APIs. It does not essentially matter what it is written in, just what APIs it supports. If it has been rewritten in C++ (are they mad?), that should make no difference to whatever developer language is used, and would not be an argument to write in C++.

Should you write any high-level applications in C++ - probably not. If you are just writing Cocoa apps - don't use it. Just stick to Objective-C.

The idea of Objective-C++ is really to port things from other platforms more easily, or perhaps do cross-platform development.
