ABSTRACT

The project lead of FScript: Philippe Mougin, is in town for Apple's WWDC 2007 in June at San Francisco and is interested in giving this talk on FScript - a smalltalk-inspired dynamically typed language for rapid development of Mac OS X and Cocoa applications and automation solutions.

FScript is much more than just a scripting language, like smalltalk it provides a set of high level exploration, browsing and development tools which let you explore Objective C libraries as easily as FScript ones.

The talk should be of interest to the Mac group and also more generally to people interested in dynamic languages, OOP, and new programming models, as Philippe will cover some interesting language-level innovations.

Objective-C Snippets in Textmate

It is an impressive display of what can be achieved with a bit of realtime transformations on text typed (in snippets) and context sensitive expansion.

None of the stuff demonstrated is hardcoded, it is all achieved using the simple extension mechanisms of TextMate, and not even IDEs hardcoded for a given language show this level of grace! :)

This shows a few nice features found in the C and Objective-C bundles:

documentation lookup, including following links in man pages
reformatting objective-c method signatures
auto-insertion of:
- start brackets (when at the end position)
- alloc/init/autorelease (after typing class name)
- missing includes (based on which functions the source call)
