Carbon will not be 64bit in Leopard. "At last year's keynote, Apple had claimed that both Carbon and Cocoa would be 64-bit, adding to the 64-bit fundamentals that Tiger had laid. However, according to the latest on Apple's website, Leopard's 64-bit frameworks will include the POSIX and math libraries found in Tiger, Cocoa, Quartz, OpenGL, and X11 GUI framework. In addition, Apple confirms that Carbon will not be 64-bit on the Carbon Developer mailing list." In addition, the readme file included with Leopard's developer preview says G3 support will be dropped from Leopard.

No, it was not. Objective-C++ was created so you can access your legacy C++ code in an ObjC Cocoa app. You can not directly use Cocoa objects/classes/methods in C++ code. In other words, we can not write a Cocoa program purely in C++.
I might have expressed myself unclearly, but your second sentence was precisely what I meant to say.
The meat of the application remains C++, you only need few thin wrappers of Obj-C to call APIs you can't otherwise.
