Everyone is unhappy. Office, Photoshop, Adobe products, Firefox, wxWidgets, etc, are all based on Carbon. Actually to me it seams that Apple is the only entusiastic company about Objective C This is sad, but at the same time isn't the end of the world, because: * The transition to 64-bits will take time, so we have some years still where work can continue with Carbon * Even then 32-bits carbon apps will keep working normally on 64-bits computers * Until 64-bits GUIs are really needed we will already have some way of interfacing with Cocoa, which can be either supporting obj-c objects on Pascal or procedurizing the Cocoa API To write stand-alone apps the first approach is 1 million times better, but, for example, to write a Lazarus interface the second is more then enougth. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
