I use the TextMate editor a lot and I want to write plugins (bundles) for it. Most bundles today seem to use Ruby, but I am not great at Ruby and I think Julia has a lot of neat features for interacting with external processess and manipulating strings. So I am starting to write some code for supporting the creation of bundles for TextMate based on Julia. I wanted to check if anybody else has been doing work in this area. Right now I started implementing a module for reading and writing OS X plist files. This is often a format used for data exchange for TextMate bundles.
I got some very basic working code here: https://github.com/ordovician/julia-plist But I'd like some advice on how to name functions in a Julia way. So far data structures are turned into strings on plist format with the "encode" function and decoded with "readplist". None of them really good names. I guess readplist might be confusing because readcsv works on files, which readplist doesn't. readplist parses a string on plist format.
