Hi all, Okay, this is probably a completely insane idea brought on my WWDC/toddler-induced sleep deprivation, but...
Given all the hoopla around node.js lately, I've been playing around with JSCocoa to see what can be don with JavaScript on the Mac: http://inexdo.com/JSCocoa Alas, my ObjC skills have atrophied (or maybe just spoiled by Ruby), so I've looked with envy at various Ruby-in-JavaScript solutions: cowboyd's therubyrhino at master - GitHub therubyracer jbarnette's johnson at master - GitHub The simplest of these is Rhino, since it already "boxes" up JavaScript inside the Java object model, which bridges trivially to JRuby. If I squint just right and don't think too hard, it seems like I should be able to do the same thing with JSCocoa from MacRuby. That is, use JSCocoa as a "JavaScript API to real objects" translator, then MacRuby to access those objects from there. The tricky part is that JSCocoa still passes around a bunch of C structs (JS Data types). But presumably Bridge Support can take care of (most) of that for me? Or am I overlooking something profound? -- Ernie P.
