Cocoa on the web: 280 North, Objective-J, and Cappuccino
...from what I have experienced using 280 Slides, a future with Cappuccino based-apps is a bright one.

Why Objective-J, Cappuccino and SproutCore are completely changing the web app industry
...if you use Cappuccino, those apps will automatically look and behave like ... desktop apps - with zero learning curve on the developer's side. He or she can simply focus on building an kick ass app instead of trying to re-invent basic UI functionality every single time.
Ryan Carson, Carsonified
An interview with 280 North on Objective-J and Cappuccino
I can see the allure of Objective-J / Cappuccino for building desktop-like Web applications. It gives you a very high level abstraction over the browser. No more DOM. No more CSS layouts, which can be the bane of your existence for a complicated and dynamic layout.

在Html5出现之前，大部分桌面级别应用都是使用基于Windows的C或VB或Java AWT/JavaFX等开发，很多人不相信在浏览器中也能够开发如同它们一样级别的应用，也就是富客户端RIA应用。 苹果的IPhone大部分应用是也是基于Object-C开发的本地应用，AndRoid的普及和开放，让更多人深信桌面级别的本地应用必须使用重量级的语言，比如C 或Java;或使用专有不开放的脚步语言如Flash 的AS或JavaFX。 HTML5出现以后，这一切都会改变。下面介绍两个基于浏览器的、使用脚本语言(DSL)开发桌面级别应用的开源免费框架： 1. 开源Cappuccino框架 基于浏览器，建立类似桌面应用或iPhone那样的应用。非常类似GNUstep 和苹果 Cocoa frameworks 。 基于HTML, CSS Javascript之上，不必了解这些语言，而是使用统一语言Objective-J (类似iPhone的Objective-C)。 可以在客户端实现几乎服务器端才能实现的大部分功能。 案例应用：http://cappuccino.org/learn/demos/ 2. SproutCore JavaScript HTML5 应用框架，基于浏览器创造类似本地桌面风格的应用。 SproutCore甚至是一个建立快速云应用的平台，能够建立伸缩到跨数百万不同终端设备和用户的大型应用。人们可以从任何地方访问启动应用。不需要为不同的操作系统，硬件和移动设备平台所限制。这需要一种新一代的云设计软件。 鉴于这一重大转变， SproutCore认为唯一符合逻辑的答案是建立基于HTML5的应用程序。浏览器是一个平台，每个设备都能运行良好。随着HTML5标准的技术深入，将可以创建更多的基于浏览器的应用程序，将比其竞争对手:桌面本地应用程序还要更多。 DEMO演示网址：http://demo.sproutcore.com/ 小插曲：苹果在新的iPAD不支持Flash，而支持Html5，吹响了专有软件Flash终止发展的号角，同样，JavaFX也因为同样问题其发展命运受到质疑。 |
