Roelf Toxopeus has written a Mac OS X / Cocoa interface for SwiftForth and iForth [examples/screenshots…]. He writes:
Cocoa GUI interface for Darwin based Forth systems.
Goals:
— Similar in usage as other interfaces in MacForth and Mach2. Think of things like NEW-XXX ADD.XXX etc.
— No hacks, no shortcuts. Should survive OS upgrades! Follow their rules.
— Try to stay close to ObjC names and procedures. Makes Apple examples easy to follow and to implement.
Inevitable is breaking the rules.
Note: Cocoa interface runs in CarbonMacForth(2008), iForth(2009) and SwiftForth(2010).
Current Mac OSX is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Lion 10.7.1
Current development is in SwiftForth.
Current target is ObjC runtime 2. [Read the rest…]
Meanwhile Nao Sacrada has released an alpha version of iMops, a 64bit, Cocoa, Intel port of Mops [more info…].
Exciting, and interesting implications for io’s descendants.
