New Cocoa/Perl Bridge Released

Posted by pudge on from the cuckcoo-for-cocoa-camels dept.

bsartist writes "I've released the first version of a Cocoa/Perl bridge that I call CamelBones. It's alpha-quality but functional enough for the example application, a POD reader similar to MacPerl's Shuck, to be written entirely in Perl." There are other projects like this that have been started, though this is the first one I've seen (since the Rhapsody days, anyway) that has code available.

  1. Hell yeah! (and other bridges) by RevAaron · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This isn't the first XXXObjective-C bridge to come out for OS X. There's RubyCocoa, which works pretty well. Squeak has an (more generalized) Objective-C bridge. Lua has one. I believe the PyObjC bridge has released code as well, and works under OS X, although that project seems to be a lot more quiet than the others.

    Good to see this. I emailed the author about it coming out, and had a bad feeling it would never get released. (why? dunno, just a feeling) :)
