You're confusing a library/framework with the language that library is written in. Cocoa, Carbon, AppKit, Foundation, CoreServices, CoreFoundation, CoreGraphics, IOKit, etc... these are libraries/frameworks. Objective-C, Objective-C++, C, C++... these are languages. Some of the libraries I listed are pure C or C++, some Objective-C, and most are a mixture of all the languages. Apple has deprecated libraries/frameworks. They haven't stopped supporting any languages though. It's 100% safe to keep writing apps that use C++ if you are also using Cocoa. A large part of OS X itself is C++ (see: IOKit and Directory Services). _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
