Way I hear things, Apple hasn't completely gotten rid of Carbon yet. iTunes is still around, in all it's terrible glory.
- grinich 16y agoFrom what I've heard, iTunes is super crufty and has it's own dedicated team, separate from the apps team. There's a lot of baggage to carry with iTunes, especially with legacy support. (I can stil sync my 1st generation 5GB iPod over Firewire.)
- glhaynes 16y agoYeah, 32-bit Carbon is still around, but they axed a 64-bit version that was (mostly?) complete.
- andrewf 16y agoAnd newer APIs (and even obj-c language features) are only available to 64-bit processes, so sticking with 32-bit so you can use Carbon will be less of an option over time.
