Comment on Cappuccino (YC Winter 08) Brings Cocoa-Like Programming To The Web

Comments

I'm still amazed that they pulled it off. I loved Objective-C when I first learned it a few years ago and loved it even more when I wrote a few apps with it. I'm glad that its essence (in Objective-J) is gaining more traction.

Random notice/question: Since V8 is increasing the efficiency of property references for JS objects via hidden class objects, does that mean that Cappuccino's message routing will gain a huge speed increase?

Man, I just love the circular nature of this: ex-Smalltalk developers wrote the JavaScript implementation which in turn, will run Smalltalk-like message passing.
