Hello,
I would deem it highly unlikely that the Carbon API will be deprecated
any time soon:
It is already deprecated. This was made especially clear at this
year's WWDC where it was announced that 64-bit Carbon applications
will not be supported.
Cocoa is basically just an Objective-C wrapper around
Carbon
Actually, most Cocoa UI is independent of Carbon.
it would probably
be a strategic mistake for Apple to kick the backend of widely used
toolkits like Qt+ and the upcoming native Gtk+ port out of MacOS X
Trolltech has already announced that "Over time, we will gradually
transition Qt to also use Cocoa for 64-bit applications".
A lot of good information about the future of Carbon can be found on
this wiki:

Cheers,
