which language you would use for X11-less macOS graphic framework?

Dear Ahmet,

The development of native GUI application for macOS have 3 choices:
1) Use C and Carbon framework (now obsoleted)
2) Objective-C and Cocoa framework
3) Swift

I think 2) or 3) are (still) reasonable options, but 1) is not anymore.
I'm unfamiliar with a market trend for Apple products, but sometimes
I hear a few people (working for iOS softwares) promoting Swift as
Swift is in, and Objective-C is out.

Also, there would be alternative approach, like Qt, to keep from playing
with Apple-specific technologies.

Do you have any preference?

Regards,
mpsuzuki
