As RB will eventually (sometimes next year?) be moving to Cocoa (or
at least support a Cocoa target) will carbon declares work in Cocoa
apps?
Yes, but it depends what you're doing. If you're manipulating
controls? No. Windows? Some things (though you'll have to modify your
code a bit). Misc system calls? Yes.
Will things like system colors one gets via carbon declares be
right for Cocoa?
Yes, and you can also get them through Cocoa.
I find figuring out and getting declares to work on Mac or Win
incredibly time consuming because I don't have enough background
knowledge to quickly find an d figure out what I need... if i won't
be able to keep using such modules it's not worth my time.
Well, it definitely depends on what modules you want to create. Cocoa
has a lot of stuff that's easier to use than Carbon.
