Cycript: Objctive-JavaScript from Saurik
Saurik tweeted some hours ago about his new Cycript…
Cycript: Objective-JavaScript
What is Cycript?
A programming language designed to blend the barrier between Objective-C and JavaScript. This project has similar goals to JSCocoa, but a very different set of starting technologies and a different guiding philosophy. In particular, Cycript has started life with a full-blown JavaScript parser/serializer, allowing it to have interesting hybrid syntax without constraints (such as those imposed on JSCocoa by JSLint).
How do you pronounce “Cycript”?
I pronounce it “sscript” (with a geminate, aka long, ‘s’). I doubt anyone else will pronounce it like this, but I have my hopes.
Where do I get it?
Right now you can find releases of it at: http://www.cycript.org/debs/. This package depends on MobileSubstrate and libffi (both of which are in Cydia).
So, how do I use it?!
Although you can write full applications in Cycript, the fastest way to get playing with it is via the immediate console: just type “cycript”.
