I hope a carbon question is ok here.

It is, but you should create a new e-mail to start a new thread instead of replying to a message in an existing thread and changing the subject.


I was told that carbon is not and will not ever be 64 bit compatible? It's sounds like it is one it's way to becoming deprecated.

Not anytime soon. At this point it's more about giving developers more reason to switch to Cocoa.


Has apple completely abandoned C++ for Carbon (Obj-C)?

Not sure what you mean by the parenthetical (Obj-C), but Apple has definitely not abandoned C++ for anything.


What does that do for portability if you are writing apps for linux, mac and windows?

You design your application differently. The Mac interface is written in Cocoa, while the platform-independent stuff can be written in C or C++.
