This makes me really happy. I kind've wish they'd used $ for what Application() is, though, to keep an analogous similarity with jQuery and the like.

  $ = Application; Easy fix!

    You've successfully hacked Javascript!

    Not if you want to use the Obj-C bridge, though :) "The primary access points for the Objective-C bridge are the global properties ObjC and $."

      Bridge = $; $ = Application;
• jonknee 12y ago
  That's easy to do on your own though: var $ = Application;

  Could there be any reasonable situation where one might want to load jQuery within this environment, though? (Although, I suppose, you could use another var for jQuery, such as, uh, 'jQuery' ...)

    jQuery is a DOM manipulation library, it is not useful to script OS X apps. ...unless one of them exposes a HTML DOM to the scripting layer, now that I think of it.

      Scripting a web browser, perhaps? :) tell document to write "hello world"
