If CoreAudio is new, why is it (apparently not) written in Cocoa?
I thought "all new apps should be in Cocoa" (Apple).
CoreAudio isn't an app, it's part of the underpinnings of the OS.
It's in C/C++ and you can use every little bit of it in a Cocoa app
with no problems.
Thanks for your response ... I realize CoreAudio isn't an app. But
it isn't in Objective-C, right? Makes it more problematic, if only
because of inconsistency, to integrate it into a Cocoa app, no?
All of the low level core APIs are implemented in C, because that
makes them accessible from both Objective C and C++ (and accessible
from Java with a little more work that Apple has already done).
Apple is probably dreaming if they think all new apps will be written
in Cocoa. It make the code completely non-transportable. Java and
C++/Carbon are also viable and much more transportable (if less
convenient). Apple doesn't even use Objective C for drivers, they
use C++.
