Hey! To explain this subject just a little. I come from actual web development - my roots are deeply in PHP. The only reason I ever learned C++, followed by C, was due to the need to write a php extension. But due to my C++ lectures, I came across objective-c, and fell in love with its syntax, basicaly x). But this made me ask the following question:
Why is this not available in scripting? A year later, I had to ask: Is it even possible to use a scripting language, based on ObjC syntax, outside of OS X? To be honest, why is there none? Objective-C is a great language - not just for GUI coding. I find that its named parameters are a key-concept. It simply makes function calls so much more understandable - even when you return to your project a year later. My favorite example that I show friends is an actual person. See: Mother* mom = [[Mother alloc] init]; [mom pleaseBring:@"beer" to:@"Sofa" withAmount:1]; I do not need to explain this, do I :) But, I have not given up. Years after my discovery, I have had times where I took google searches…and at a random sudden, Objective-J was created! This is one amazing concept, as I see it. But the downside: You can’t embed it. So I wanted to ask this Objective-C community here: Is there a viable, cross-platform, scripting language with actual ObjC syntax? If not - why! :) Before I go and poke people to improve their parsers to add this syntax, I wanted to ask around first. I am too young in C++ to write my own scripting language at the moment (I started last year september), so I cant just do it myself x) Kind regards, Ingwie. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
