Uhm, I've taken a peek at the API. Seems to have some interesting stuff in there. Very AppKit like. I wonder what Apple would have to say about that, legally. Still, 117 classes to cover everything from basic raw type encapsulation to high level GUI management??? Sounds weak and I have doubts about how extendable the low level API is, and how easy it would be to integrate custom stuff into it. Which is crucial for library development... Which is crucial for a language... Which is, well, just crucial.

I wondered about that when I saw:

280 North formed earlier this year when three friends from USC got together to realize their dream of working together to develop software. Francisco Tolmasky and Ross Boucher graduated from USC in 2006 and 2007 respectively

It takes a while to get a sense of good API design.

Ross is no slouch though. He worked for Apple for a while and quit to go do 280 North.

Well, we'll see...

Yes.

As for the replacement of JavaClient? Hm, I'd say it'd be more suited to a JSON-RPC style solution. Dave has a point in pointing out EOF libraries on the client. I would not count on Apple implementing those in Cappuccino...

That is fine for document centric apps.  My uneducated, uninformed

work.  It might be interesting to try.

I know. I guess, you can provide some sort of JSON data source and use that in the way you had to when there was no CoreData - populate arrays and so
on.

Yeah, there should be something for that. Might be coming pretty soon ...

The framework itself looks really cool.
