Can anyone think of a good non-subpage name for this page? -- [[User:Tarquin|Tarquin]]

Could someone write a very detailed explanation of the difference between Cocoa and Carbon, and how they compare and contrast? I don't know much in that field. I think it would benefit people reading this article, especially if they are choosing one. Maybe make a "Differences between Cocoa and Carbon" page sometime? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Geek 2.0|Geek 2.0]] ([[User talk:Geek 2.0|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Geek 2.0|contribs]]) 01:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

It's entirely possible for a Carbon app to behave exactly like a Cocoa app, or for a Cocoa app to be poorly written and exhibit inconsistent behavior. [[User:Mike Richardson|Mike Richardson]] ([[User talk:Mike Richardson|talk]]) 20:20, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

== Swift? ==

Maybe Swift should get a mention. The first I heard of cocoa was in researching Swift for a project. According to at least one source <ref>http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/06/a-fast-look-at-swift-apples-new-programming-language/</ref> Cocoa works with Swift so perhaps Swift should be mentioned along with the other languages being mentioned in the article.

== Yellow Box history ==

Since Yellow Box does not have a dedicated webpage, I'm writing here.

Yellow Box for Windows could be found in WebObjects for Windows, Yellow Box Developer Preview, OPENSTEP Enterprise for Windows, Rhapsody DR2 for Windows and it's not obvious what is the order between them. One man has shown screenshots of "Project Builder" about Window on different Yellow Boxes.

OPENSTEP Enterprise 4.2 (1996?) v300.2<br />

Rhapsody DR2 (1998) v332.2<br />

WebObjects 4.5.1 (2001) contain Yellow Box 1.0, v365<br />

YellowBox 5.1 DR2 (?), v?<br />

:Yellow Box might not be significant enough to have its own Wikipedia page. However, [[OpenStep]] does have its own Wikipedia page. [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 23:14, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

== Cocoa Binding in C ==

Recently there has been work on an open source Cocoa binding in C called Silicon[https://github.com/EimaMei/Silicon].

Maybe it could be added to the list of other Cocoa bindings[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_(API)#Other_bindings]? [[User:ColleagueRiley|ColleagueRiley]] ([[User talk:ColleagueRiley|talk]]) 20:17, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
