Some yummy facts about Leopard:
Scripting Bridge
Use Objective-C, Ruby, and Python programs to automate Mac
applications. The new Scripting Bridge enables them to easily
generate AppleEvents using a concise, AppleScript-like syntax.
The Scripting Bridge simply generates an Objective-C "wrapper" that
has methods corresponding to an app's scripting dictionary. That
class is callable from *any* language that can call Objective-C methods.
Ruby on Rails
Work in a developer's dreamland. Leopard is the perfect platform
for Ruby on Rails development, with Rails, Mongrel, and Capistrano
built in.
Sounds cool - the more the merrier.
Not a single word about perl. No mention of CamelBones
The fact that CamelBones is not included in Leopard isn't Apple's
fault - it's mine.
I didn't deliver a Leopard-ready CamelBones early enough for Apple to
include it. They gave me a chance to do so, appointed an internal
liason to be the contact point to deliver it to, and gave me free
access to Leopard betas.
On the other hand, built-in support for CamelBones is largely
symbolic anyway. Neither Panther nor Tiger have it, so you'll have to
embed the CamelBones framework in your app anyway, unless it's
Leopard-only.
