All 32-bit applications (including those using Carbon) are still supported and 
run on 10.13 High Sierra. It was announced on Monday that the next version of 
macOS (i.e. 10.14) will run 32-bit applications “with compromises”, which could 
be a dialog warning the user on launch. And the next version after that (i.e. 
10.15) may drop 32-bit support entirely.

In short, it will be at least 2 years before a macOS release that drops 32-bit 
support.
