borland is dieing just like many other general perpose dev tool makes have done or are doing.

ms killed the commercial dev tool market for windows

linux users generally wan't stuff free.

borland is too big to move into a niche market (such as one involving embedded systems or so) like many other devtool makers did.

btw where did you hear about lazarus and carbon? i haven't heard anything to that effect and apparently there are some abi issue with freepascal in areas heavilly used by the carbon api. (cocoa is pretty much out of the window because of its close ties to objective C its nearly impossible to use it for anything else). I belive lazarus runs on OSX with gtk and X11 but this is far from ideal.
