Exactly… So angry about that! 10.12 apps not running on 10.14, ppc app not 
running on 10.7 etc. How they convinced us this would be a good system to work 
with? macOS is very well made and have many pros, but when Linux will have a 
nice UX/UI, I’ll move to it.

 Given the move to 64-bit only, seems like Carbon is dead, which is a real 
 shame for us long-time loyal Apple Developers.  Some of us have given up 
 and are leaving the Apple community.  Still wanted to thank everyone for 
 their valuable participation in this list, and also, a very special thanks 
 to Eric, who has been immensely helpful over the years.  I couldn’t have 
 accomplished as much as I did without you.

Then better hurry up. It's already well past noon on July 1st here so the list 
might go to /dev/null any second...

Yes… I see no reason to close it.

Anyway I would suggest to create a new mailinglist and share the link here so 
we can move there. I think it could be useful for some reasons to just have a 
place where to discuss about a topic, being it obsolete/old or not.

Down the memory hole it goes, like so many other things that we cherished about 
the Mac platform.

ref unsystem; rewrite fullwise.

I've gone to considerable effort to make applications that build and run on 
every Mac OS version from System 6 to the latest, and I can't do that anymore.  
Maybe I'll pick up some Objective-C eventually, but first I'll learn some 
community-developed C-based toolkits that run on free operating systems.

I'm not a fan of the Red Queen's race: rewriting code over and over again just 
to keep it working at all.  Unix's open() function still works decades later -- 
it's not even deprecated.  Nobody's been forced to switch to openat() (or 
something else entirely) and kill off support for older OSes that don't have it.

> used to be apple was “the good guys”.

That was the tale they told us in the 1984 commercial, at least.

I hope the list archives remain online so I and others can continue to derive 
benefit from Eric's knowledge.
