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 really wasn't sure if you were talking about Java, or another language simply called J that I had never heard of. Turns out there is a language named J that I've never heard of before. I can't imagine too many people would be confused. Most people have never even heard of J++ or J#,let a lone J.

    Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.

    For the love of God, please don't run it in IE.

    I just tried that, and it's hellishly slow in IE6, but runs like shit off a shovel in Firefox 3.

    I haven't tried Chrome yet, but I'm guessing the shovel in that case will be chrome as well.

    One thing that did piss me off was the "Download and Present" slide, which reminded me that Powerpoint 2007 format is "an ISO standard". While true, such statements are prone to making me quite irate :P

    I have never used J and know nothing about J

    Rest assured that those who have and do mostly run away screaming...

    *looks askance at those who like J*

    Those who do *NOT* run away screaming are probably likely to prefer developing Java in notepad, think perl is a good application framework and partake in usenet arguments about usable GIMP is.

    What? Me bitter?
