Hi, ObjectiveCBridge2 (John's one) should be working with latest builds... at least I *think* it should be (the older bug was fixed... so if it does not works now is probably because other reasons. I didn't check it since last six months, so I don't know. Reason why I didn't check it? well... two reasons: nobody ask for, so I assumed I was the only user (sorry if that's not true), and also, in my work of mars/deimos I found several performace issues (most people will not have it, but mars/deimos is very callback dependent) and objective-c callback architecture was not enough, so I started to create (well... to finish, because machinery was already there) a new objective-c bridge, based on Alien... it was working (and the response times were incredible fast), but then came the new FFI (not threaded) and I started migrating the alien objective-c bridge to the new plugin... and well... that's not finished because time is never enough :) I think in the long way the new plugin is the way to go, but for now we have the bridge and it should work :)
So, as a summary: ObjectiveCBridge2 *should* be working, if anyone want to take a look, I will be happy to help if there are any problems.
