I finally got tired of the same old "Carbon is dead" argument that seems to keep popping up every time CL-Carbon gets mentioned on #lisp. So I did a little digging.... and I was thinking it might be nice to put a little blurb on the project web page that points out the following *Apple* applications that are Carbon apps (no Cocoa):
Finder Dock iTunes
and yes ...
Spotlight
There are more, but that ought to be enough to answer the question definitively. If you'd like, I can write up a more polished blurb, or feel free. It just would be nice to have a simple URL to reference rather than having the same discussion every time. Or even teach it to minion. ;-)
I had a look through the logs on meme.b9.com for the past few days and didn't really see much in the way of criticism. However, a "Why Carbon" section on the project page could be useful. Hopefully anyone interested in Carbon over Cocoa will already have some good reasons though. If you can think up some specific wording, that would be great. I don't have any ideas right now. I'm thinking more about the architecture than the advocacy ;-)
