Cocoa vs. Carbon : 2008

All the references comparing the two are from 2001, I'm assuming they have evolved since then. I was under the impression that Carbon was faster/lower resource?

Why is Apple going Cocoa only and what does it mean for me?
 
Cocoa is 64bit for one thing, and is the language they use for most of their consumer apps as well as pretty much everything on the iPhone.
 
Carbon is on its way out, that's all you really need to know. Cocoa is the native OS X API.
 
There was a Carbon64 IIRC. The only reason I can determine why they switched is that Cocoa is more flexible, but Carbon was faster. To bad they didn't just try to make carbon more flexible. I like faster, more efficient code.
 
They had originally intended to make a 64-bit version of Carbon, but they dropped that idea a while ago.
