SWIG can provide access to wxWidgets and a lot of other stuff. TASH can also be considered. May be Visual Ada Designer can be ported to Mac OS X. Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X has some i18n issues. The same as X11. User can't change keyboard layout via hotkeys (Command-Space usually). The only way to change layout in X11 apps is to use Input Menu (similar to Language Bar in Windows). Constantly clicking while typing is inconvenient for non-English users so X11 (and Tcl/Tk) applications are very unpopular. But it is solveable. I've maid a patch for Apple X11 to enable hotkeys and the same could probably be done for Wish Shell. > I though you would love it because it is the only proposal which will > give Mac users cocoa support. I don't think mixing semantics is a good idea. It's OK for C languages family to be a frankenstein, but not for Ada. > AdaStep [2] > [2] Just invented that name ;-) . An absolutely blank project already exists on Google Code called Cocoa-GNAT. > Just the "Will it word with GNUStep?" question is left. Provided that: a. Cocoa is a superset of OpenStep b. BridgeSupport files are automatically generated from headers One might try to either get a subset of Cocoa metainfo or use modified generator on GNUStep headers.
