I don’t think it was this clear. I remember reading an Apple employment advertisement roughly around 2005 that went something like this. "Join the engineering team and help us make the next Finder rewrite the absolute best ever with Carbon and C++.” It was reported that Apple had the 64 bit Carbon port done when the decision was made not to release the product but rather focus the company's resources and efforts on Cocoa instead. It appears there was a lot of internal turmoil within the company and the resistance to Cocoa was strong but eventually Cocoa won out the day because it is a superior technology. --Richard Charles _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
