I hope a carbon question is ok here.
Only one per person ;)
For in-depth carbon discussions, email@hidden is the place
to go.
I was told that carbon is not and will not ever be 64 bit compatible?
That's pretty much how it is, yes. A few selected APIs that were part of
Carbon are now considered part of CoreFoundation (I think) and are
available to 64-bit applications. The File Manager APIs are one example.
The details are at:

It's sounds like it is one it's way to becoming deprecated.
Depends on your interpretation. It has been stated that it is unlikely
that new features for Carbon will be developed, but it hasn't been called
deprecated.
Has apple completely abandoned C++ for Carbon (Obj-C)? What does that
do for portability if you are writing apps for linux, mac and windows?
I don't see much changing for C++ - Carbon is a C API, Cocoa is
Objective-C. You can call into both APIs from C++ code (using
Objective-C++ in the latter case).
Portability, however, is a different topic. There is a Cocoa
implementation of wxWidgets, if that helps you.
