If you are truly interested in the challenges of Cocoa bridges, or these types of interlanguage/library bridges in general, then
this article{/url] by Tim Burks is really essential reading.
Essentially, after working with
two
Ruby/Cocoa bridges, Tim gave up on the idea, and decided to build a new language
on top of
Objective C and the Foundation classes. It's a Lisp-alike, and is called
Nu
.
That's very much the strategy that MacRuby has going, and it seems like it is the winning one. Were these alternatives available for iPhone development, I would definitely be writing most of my application in one of Nu, MacRuby, or F-Script.
