SproutCore is Cocoa for the web:As Apple's public schedule for WWDC explained, "SproutCore is an open source, platform-independent, Cocoa-inspired JavaScript framework for creating web applications that look and feel like Desktop applications. Roughly Drafted has an in depth look at SproutCore in the context of its' closed source competitors: Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight.
Very interesting. I can't wait to check out the MobileMe web apps that Apple is rolling out using this sort of technology.
More on SproutCore, and another link from the bottom of that post: Why Objective-J, Cappuccino and SproutCore are completely changing the web app industry.
I'm also seeing a lot of naysaying on various forums, so it's unclear how this is all going to turn out. And in any case, my original post was a little misleading in that SproutCore isn't really a Flash or Silverlight competitor. I mean, sort of, but not really.
Slashdot has more on Objective-J and Cappuccino. These seem cool. Wish I had the time to look more closely.
