C++ or Objective-C? — #13

Objective-C has more than one syntactic extension to C. It adds keywords such as @implementation…@end and @try, and the <ProtocolName> syntax for indicating conformance to a …

Carbon and Cocoa are very different. It's not that one is necessarily less capable than the other, they're just different. To generalize a lot, I would say Cocoa is "easier." Carbo…

I think that Apple originally inteded Carbon to be a "transition" technology from Classic Mac OS to Mac OS X. However, this is certainly not the case now. It is not the poor cous…

If you're writing new code, then cocoa is probably the best way to go since you're starting fresh. Carbon does have it's applications though and certainly could be used. IMO, car…

Cocoa is meant for Objective-C, but you can use other languages with it. Java, Perl, Python, Ruby and probably several others I haven't thought of all have Cocoa bridges.

C++ or Objective-C? — #24

I thought the bridging technology was deprecated (Bridgette or whatever it was called), but Cocoa-Java was still alive. Did they deprecate the whole thing?

They've said that no future API will be added to Cocoa-Java, but existing ones will continue to work.

Definitely go with Cocoa/Objective-C. You can find plenty of information on how to do so in the archives. C++ is a terrible language. Never learn it if you can help it.

C++ or Objective-C? — #30

In short, C++ is a hack of an object-oriented system. There are places where it's just broken (search the web for details). Debugging errors with templates is a nightmare. MacG33k…

[Seti] 9K RAC 1.8M TC Athlon? — #2

That's odd. No way a Pentium D or an Athlon 64 X2 rig would beat a G5 Quad in SETI, let alone by that large of a margin. I was thinking that maybe they were MP systems. But then …
