Are you still using any Carbon APIs due to a lack of a Cocoa replacement?

@grynspan also just to double-check, you’re not referring to c APIs in general, just Carbon specifically, right?
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 17 Oct 2015

@rob_rix Yup. There are plenty of C APIs on OS X that aren't part of Carbon. I'm curious who is still using properly-Carbon APIs.

@grynspan Some resource manager and process manager stuff. Also file manager, but I think most or all of that could be migrated.

@mjtsai What are your remaining use cases for the Resource Manager?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 17 Oct 2015

@grynspan Reading/writing resources for .webloc files and disk image license agreements.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 17 Oct 2015

@mjtsai You should put your .webloc data in the data fork, FWIW.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 17 Oct 2015

@grynspan I'm doing that, too, of course. But at one point needed to read files with only resource fork. Perhaps no longer relevant.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 17 Oct 2015

@mjtsai There may be such legacy .webloc files floating out there, but the system should never be creating new ones.
