Objective-J and Cappuccino Released

Posted by kdawson on from the hot-bits dept.

Wizard Drongo writes "280 North, who earlier this year released 280 Slides, a revolutionary new type of web-app written in Objective-J using the Cappuccino framework (both of which they also wrote), have today made good on their promise to open-source the language and framework. From their about page: 'Cappuccino is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with. Cappuccino was implemented using a new programming language called Objective-J, which is modeled after Objective-C and built entirely on top of JavaScript. Programs written in Objective-J are interpreted in the client, so no compilation or plugins are required. Objective-J is released alongside Cappuccino in this project and under the LGPL.' You can download the framework, tools, documentation and more on their website."

    I'd say that the Objective-J name is confusing given the existence of a J language, but I guess Microsoft has already muddied those waters with J++ and J#...

      I think most people have heard of J. I have never used J and know nothing about J, but I have heard of it. So, even though Objective-J was just released, I am as proficient in Objective-J as in J. Again, I think most people reading this are now in the same situation :)

      You can't deny that every single spreadsheet is just a re-implementation of VisiCalc.

    OJ and Cappuccino...goes well with Java in a Bistro? Who makes these names up? I guess it's better than having Caml with Curry, or waking up with a Brainfuck.

    Maybe they could call it Objectivism.

    Or Atlas.
