Is there a way to call D code from Objective C on OSX?
Here's something cool I was thinking about doing:
* I've learned how to make Cocoa UI Objective C apps on OSX.
* I've learned how to load the native OSX webkit widget in a
Cocoa app. It provides a rich user interface using ordinary HTML,
CSS, and Javascript/jQuery. It's much better than anything Qt has
with its widgets or QML. It's much better than anything Apple
allows with its other Aqua Cocoa widgets. I can make any kind of
widget you can think of, colored and styled anyway I want, using
webkit.
* I've learned how to enable a bridge between Javascript to
Objective C. This lets me make an Objective C function that
Javascript can call. So, if I need my webkit app to do something
powerful like show a file chooser dialog, I can call an object
called "objc" and so something like:
var sFilePath = objc.chooseFile();
* Now all I want to do is to bridge Objective C to D. That way,
my webkit pages can call Objective C, which can then call D. I
can put much of the heavy lifting work in D for my app. If I need
to call an Apple Foundation Class library, I can have D call back
to Objective C just for that special thing.
