Key differences between Objective_C and Carbon

CharacteristicObjective_CCarbon
SyntaxC-based syntax with Smalltalk-style messaging, uses brackets for method calls.C++-like modern syntax, designed for familiarity to C++ developers, avoids brackets for method calls.
ParadigmObject-oriented, supports dynamic runtime and message passing.Multi-paradigm, primarily object-oriented and generic programming, with modern language features.
TypingDynamically and statically typed, supports dynamic typing via id type.Statically typed, with strong type safety and modern generics.
PerformanceHigh performance, close to C, but dynamic features can add overhead.Aims for performance similar to or better than C++, with modern optimizations.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem for Apple platforms (Cocoa, Cocoa Touch), limited outside Apple.Ecosystem still developing, aims for interoperability with C++ libraries.
Community and supportMature but shrinking community, mostly within Apple development.Very new, experimental, small but growing community, backed by Google.
Learning curveSteep for those unfamiliar with C or Smalltalk syntax, easier for Apple developers.Designed for easy adoption by C++ developers, but new concepts may require adjustment.
