Maybe it was clear to you, but it wasn’t clear to us. The company I work for
sent developers to WWDC, and the message they came back with was that Carbon
was a serious alternative to Cocoa. Of course, Apple changed its plans several
times during this period, but the abandonment of 64-bit Carbon - after it had
already been developed - was sudden and unexpected (to us).
It’s ancient history now. I wish Apple had given a clearer message and provided
an easier transition. Carbon provided an easy way to transition from classic
macOS, but there wasn’t an easy way to transition from Carbon to Cocoa.
