I was just trying to understand what the author meant by "to surface" an object. Still wondering...
- bicknellr 13y agoTo 'surface' something (in this context) means something like "to expose", or "to bring to attention". It's related to the more literal meaning of the verb, which is roughly "to come up to the surface of the water (or other medium)", as in "the submarine surfaced after a week long dive". He's just using it to describe exposing objects and functions in Objective-C to the JavaScript context.
