I’ve been stumbling upon Objective-J. It should be a superset of JavaScript … but how’s that possible without a browser plugin or some addon? How can they drive around the syntax of JavaScript and make it look like Objective-C code? I mean… COOL… but I don’t get it 😉 Must I compile that Objective-J code before it goes to the browser?

    According to the Wikipedia article on Objective-J:

    Programs written in Objective-J need
    to be preprocessed before being run by
    a web browser’s JavaScript virtual
    machine. This step can occur in the
    web browser at runtime or by a
    compiler which translates Objective-J
    programs into pure JavaScript code.
    The Objective-J compiler is written in
    JavaScript, consequently deploying
    Objective-J programs does not require
    a plugin attached to the web browser.
