[Ham-Mac] OS X development environ Q

Fri, 15 Feb 2002 18:01:56 -0800

The one thing is right in this article is that Cocoa application will have 
less code to write for the same functionality compared to Carbon, besides 
Objective C is much more elegant than C++ as programming language and 
easier to learn. I just started programming on Mac (programmed PCs in C 
and C++ and mainframes in various languages) and I can tell that I have 
not seen better environment to work with than Cocoa. As for compatibility 
issue (can run Carbon on pre OS X machines), in a couple years the 
majority will run OS X anyway. Look at PC developers, nobody writes DOS 
and Windows 3.1 programs...
