I wonder whether Etoile has any interest to maintain StepTalk on GNUstep, probably move it into Etoile project ?
I think it would be a good move, yes, as we intend to use it.. Anybody wants to step forward ? If it is on étoilé repository, it will be more likely that we'll work on it anyway.
Frankly, I am often confused by some parts of StepTalk. But the application scripting part may be useful for Etoile.
yes
Any objc binding can access both Foundation and AppKit classes. In order to access running applications and their objects in run time, StepTalk or something similar may be required.
for scripting, steptalk looks ideal to me.
By the way, I just found HOC ( http://hoc.sourceforge.net/ ), a Haskell to Objective-C binding: "HOC's primary platform is Mac OS X, Apple's modern UNIX-based operating system. However, HOC does provides preliminary support for the GNUstep platform <http://www.gnustep.org/>, and has been lightly toasted, err, tested, with GNUstep on Linux." But I am not sure what's the advantage of using functional language with object-oriented language.
ah well... if only to be able to easily create gui apps I would guess. Anyway it looks interesting, indeed. -- Nicolas Roard "I love deadlines.
