Thank you so much for sharing this, for making it open source, and even more so for documenting it so well! I've used F-Script (on the Mac) whenever I needed something like this. However, the Smalltalk syntax seems to limit its appeal, and I've wondered whether a similar tool leveraging JavaScript could really take off. What you have created is far more sophisticated than I ever imagined. Looking forward to digging into it more.

For those like me who find the Smalltalk syntax appealing, there's hope to make more of it (given Objective-C's roots, this makes every sense): http://objective.st/ http://objective.st/

  That looks really cool, but maybe a little ambitious? I don't know what Apple's restrictions are for iOS apps these days, but last time I was in the iOS game, they didn't allow anything that wasn't written directly in ObjC or C.

    That's not the case anymore (ever?). There are iOS apps written in C#, Ruby, C++, and of course JS/HTML care of Phonegap. I think the only real opposition to alternative stacks Apple publicly displayed was to Flash. Edit: Actually it looks like Adobe Air also works: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air-on-ios-faq.html#b http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air-on-ios-faq.html...

    That was just a guideline, that was taken back before it was even enforced -- and that was 2-3 years ago.
