F-Script 1.3.5

F-Script is a lightweight open-source scripting layer specifically designed for the Mac OS X object system (i.e. Cocoa). F-Script provides scripting and interactive access to Cocoa frameworks and custom Objective-C objects.

It aims to be a useful and fun tool for both beginners and experts, allowing interactively exploring, testing and using Cocoa-based objects and frameworks.

Based on Smalltalk, F-Script provides a pure object-oriented environment that leverage Mac OS X technologies and includes significant innovations, like a high-level model for object manipulation and the most terrific object browser on earth!

F-Script does not use a bridging or binding technology between an existing object model and Cocoa: it has been developed from scratch for the Objective-C object model. It is highly integrated with Cocoa and optimized for native access.

F-Script is used in various fields including astrophysics, biology, music analysis, game development, software debugging, artificial intelligence etc. It can be used as a stand-alone application that dynamically loads your Objective-C classes and enables you to access them either interactively or using scripts.

It can also be embedded into your own applications thanks to a set of components which are extremely easy to use (for excellent examples of this see Colloquy, an advanced IRC & SILC client, ObjectiveCLIPS, a powerful rule-based development environment for Cocoa, and LSQL, an interactive tool for Sybase Adaptive Server).
