Objective-J / Cappuccino Target

[Fred Potter <fp...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Just wanted to share some work we've been doing on an Objective-J /
Cappuccino language target for Thrift.  If you've been looking at
Cappuccino and have a Thrift addiction like we do, maybe it'll help
you out.

There's a new language target, library, and tutorial.  Most of it is a
port of Andrew McGeachie's Cocoa work to Objective-J, plus some new
stuff added in to make async calls more natural.

The code is up on GitHub here:
http://github.com/parallel48/thrift

There's a blog post that talks a bit about it here:
http://blog.parallel48.com/using-thrift-with-cappuccino

I'd love to hear from someone more involved with the project if there
would be interest in having this contributed back to the main
distribution.  Cappuccino is still kind of a niche language, so I
don't know how people would feel about that.

Ok, great!  I'll open a ticket on JIRA and submit a patch.

I'm happy to keep maintaining it and have several planned improvements.

If you feel like you'd be a regular maintainer of the contribution, then I
definitely would love to see it included in the Thrift core. On the other
hand, if you want to contribute it and then wander away, that's not so
attractive.

Either way, I think it would be great if you opened a JIRA ticket and
attached a patch.
