Objective-j is a superset of javascript, basically they added stuff to javascript that it evaluated within javascript. Cappuccino is Cocoa on the web; the fellows there at 280North did a great thing and have pretty much all of it implemented, except for a few things here and there. Taking Cocoa onto the web is a very intelligent idea considering the popularity of web applications today, and it makes non-mac users able to see the beauty of Cocoa .

I wonder if they know something we don’t? Could there be a new framework and scripting language support for Safari and/or iPhone coming soon? It would be like XUL for Firefox, only in Mac OS’s native language, I suppose. Anyway, interesting approach regardless of my speculation!

Is this for real? Not only does it look like Objective-C, it looks just like Apple’s Cocoa framework too.

It looks like they wrote a decompiler in javascript that allows them to build a cocoa app and transform it into a web app…

This is amazing. A beta release and, despite slightly limited features (a good thing IMHO), they have a better product than Powerpoint! I am extremely curious to see how they accomplished what they did. I expect work tomorrow will be spent digging through this amazing product.

I'll certainly use it!
