So, which is it, guys? A glorified macro pre-processor with enough
canned macros to illustrate how to use the same approach in your own
applications, or an attempt to simplify Cocoa programming where it
genuinely cries out for simplification, hopefully also in cases
which are commonly used enough to generate real bang-for-buck?
Rich, Laurent and I talked about this at length this weekend, and I
think we can safely say that we’d to improve upon Cocoa and Mac OS X
development in Ruby.
One example we cooked up was this:
play_sound do |t|
sin(440.0 * t * 2.0 * Math::PI)
end
Setting up a simple CoreAudio configuration is a pain; you need to
dive into the component manager, and wire together a bunch of
callbacks and audio units, and…ugh. In HotCocoa we have a chance to
make audio generation into a nice simple operation.
We had plenty more ideas; I’m sure they’ll be shared in this forum
when we all get caught up on the rest of our lives.
