[MacCentral] 5:18:43 PM     F-Script is a lightweight object-oriented scripting layer specifically designed for Mac OS X object system (i.e. Cocoa). F-Script provides scripting and interactive access to Cocoa frameworks and custom Objective-C objects. It aims to be a useful and fun tool for both beginners and experts, allowing to interactively explore, test and use Cocoa-based objects and frameworks. Based on Smalltalk, F-Script provides a pure object-oriented environment that leverage Mac OS X technologies and includes significant innovations, like a high-level model for object manipulation and a graphical object browser. F-Script is used in various fields including astrophysics, biology, music analysis, game development, software debugging, etc. It can be used as a stand-alone application that dynamically loads your Objective-C classes and enables you to access them either interactively or using scripts. It can also be embedded into your own applications thanks to a set of easy-to use components (for an excellent examples of this see Charla 2, a Yahoo! chat client for Mac OS X). 1:00:16 PM
