Hi Randal (I'm going to be on the panel that Randal will be speaking
at).
Let me say that PyObjC (the python equivalent to CamelBones) is
getting a lot of attention recently, and the Python on Mac OS X
session at WWDC on Wednesday morning talks a good deal about PyObjC
(I also maintain python for Apple). I personally think that
CamelBones hasn't quite reached the critical mass that PyObjC has,
but it could still happen. So I hope that the CamelBones community
doesn't give up hope so soon.
We had wanted to ship both CamelBones and PyObjC with Tiger, but for
various reasons, it was punted. But we are shipping wxWidgets with
perl and python support, and tkinter for python, because we do have
customers who want to do GUI applications with scripting languages.

I'm giving a talk at WWDC on wednesday about "Perl as Glue on OSX",
and I drool over CamelBones. I'll let you know if my drool is
appropriate after wednesday. It'll be interesting to see if the
comments in the room reflect the desire for Perl-wired Cocoa apps or
not.
In fact, the first thing I thought after hearing about the x86
announcement was "oooh, I hope CamelBones continues to work!".
