(a) Carbon is going away... (b) Cocoa is 32/64bit (c) Ian and I have been talking a bit about what to do, nothing decided yet.
The carbon part is used for:
- the 1/60 timer
- file path name encoding/translation
- apple events
- clipboard interaction
- Display
- keyboard/mouse
- menu bar
- openGL
- drag/drop
- internet configuration information
- alias support for os-9 file aliases
Other items shared by the unix os-x vm and use core foundation logic or BSD calls, but aren't 64 bit aware would be
- Midi support
- joystick support
- sound support
- UUID generation
- Socket support

how much do you depend on Carbon in the Mac VM ? Do you use it for stuff besides the Displaying and UI ?
