Exploring the Mac OS X Object System
Philippe writes "F-Script is an integrated set of tools that makes it possible to interactively explore and manipulate Cocoa objects as well as script them using new high-level programming techniques. This new article, Exploring Cocoa with F-Script, shows you how to use some of its most impressive features and demonstrates how it can be a useful addition to your developer toolkit."
...but is giving everything access to everything else in this way safe?

In your dreams, kid."
Wait, wait!!!
Let me guess, your attempt at displaying Indignation comes from your belief that Apple is just about to 'explode in marketshare' now that they switched to Intel 'like you have been saying they should for years'
Bwhahahaha!!!
Sorry clown, Apple getting dumped by IBM signed the death warrant for Mac hardware. The computing world isn't waiting around to buy overpriced lemons from Apple. There is only one direction an overpriced x86 OEM is going in marketshare.
DOWN.
Carbon is older and mostly included for backwards compatibility.
Carbon is also the API of choice if you want to write things that also run on platforms other than the Macintosh. Carbon is your standard C API and is a fully capable first-class citizen in MacOS X. Besides it being much easier to make higher-performing software with Carbon, it uses a language understood by almost every engineer in the world.
When Apple moves Cocoa to something other than Objective C maybe they'll have a shot at getting more developers in their camp.
