Look at the screenshots. Does this mean AppleScript bindings for Cocoa? Or even better, generic OSA bindings?

Someone, tell me I'm not dreaming... Sal?

You must be dreaming. That link takes you to a 404. Doesn't even hint at AppleScript, Cocoa, OSA, et al.

Doesn't take me to a 404 here
I'm not sure if it means that there will be full bindings or whether they will be one way or what... I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Millenium, I'm also impressed by the screenshots. What interest me in particular is Applescript Studio. I haven't heard about this application before. Does anyone here know anything about it? Will it be a free application, as Project Builder is, or will it cost anything?

If someone has a link to a page with more information, I'd be grateful.

Another thing, and perhaps not relevant in this thread: Can an applescript can be set up as a service? This would have been very cool!

AppleScript Studio sure looks like that to me, Millenium... especially when you consider the info on http://www.apple.com/macosx/whatyouc...ctbuilder.html that says:

"Project Builder supports developers using C, C++, Objective C, AppleScript and Java."

Note the AppleScript.

ASS (oh my, what an unfortunate acronym) may in fact be a Project Builder plugin, or possibly even an AS only PB'Lite'.

An AppleScript based PB Lite would suit my needs perfectly! A Visual Basic-like IDE for Mac OS X... nice.

Hehe, yeah, I thought that was funny too . But as someone (forget who) has pointed out, "AppleScript" is one word, so the acronym would be "AS".

Well, then, assuming we do have Cocoa, I have a question for Sal:

Is this Cocoa binding specific to AppleScript, or can it be used by any OSA language?

Generic OSA bindings for Cocoa would just be ridiculously cool. It makes all kinds of cool things possible, from the silly end (Cocoa apps written in JavaScript) to the seriously cool (Cocoa in Python, Perl, tcl, or anything else that could be ported to the OSA architecture).
