Read in the program for WWDC:
Integration with the new Scripting Bridge
Anyone know if this is something we should be excited about?
I think the best thing about Scripting Bridge is that it shows Apple
continues to be committed to supporting and expanding OS X's
application scripting technologies. Anyone who does application
scripting should be heartened by this, whether or not they use these
individual technologies themselves or not; anything that brings in
new users helps to extend marketshare, which in turn means there's
more users demanding that developers provide powerful, reliable
scripting interfaces to their applications. Furthermore, the
availability of new programmer-oriented scripting bridges will help
to turn application developers into users as well, and there's
nothing like becoming a fan of a technology (and/or experiencing its
deficiencies in person) to make a developer want to support and
improve it him/herself.
What I don't know is how good SB actually is, seeing as I'm too poor
to afford a paid ADC account and anyone who can is currently under
NDA, so we'll all just have to wait till Leopard ships to find out
the answer to that. However, if you'd like to do application
scripting directly from ObjC, you already can:
http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript.html
(Caveat that it's not yet finished, so may contain a few less
features and/or a few more bugs than intended. Should be pretty well
done in another couple months though.)
