Yes, but currently just "one-way" callbacks: cocoa fires a signal to squeak, and squeak know how to handle it. I'm studing a way to add (or simulate) squeak-to-cocoa callbacks, for solving some issues (like menu enabling/disabling, etc.). Basically, I'm studing Alien and ObjectiveC bridge to look what can I borrow ;) Esteban > > Stef > > On Dec 21, 2008, at 12:23 PM, Esteban Lorenzano wrote: > >> Hi, I'm introducing Mars (just another world) >> >> Mars is a world for Squeak (and all it's forks) builded as an MVC on > >> top of Cocoa (OSX framework) and OmniBrowser. >> For that reason, Mars just runs on OSX environments. >> While this project has some similariries with SqueakGTK and > >> wxSqueak, it has big differences: >> 1) Mars is not a port of Cocoa for squeak, is just an MVC > >> implementation who uses Cocoa.
