Discussion: What about Swift-based F-Script?

[juandesant]

It looks like the Swift Playgrounds are something that could be done via F-Script. In addition, given that Swift code will be using the Objective-C runtime, message passing to Swift objects should be possible. Are there any ideas for a Yosemite/Swift version of F-Script?

[Kentzo]

You mean F-Script as a language or as an application to inject into apps?

[juandesant]

I guess I mean both: I understand F-Script should be able to explore Swift applications. But being able to use the more strict Swift semantics would be helpful.

Are we talking here about Swift support? Because I couldn't get it to work from a .swift file; got a lot of errors and warnings. I thought Swift support would be automatic, but obviously it isn't.

Any chance to get it to support it?

[Kentzo]

I definitely want this. Could you share all the errors and warning you've seen? Could you also publish a demo project that demonstrates them?

[Rhuantavan]

To trigger the errors it is enough to include the F-Script framework to your app and add "#import <FScript/FScript.h>" to the bridging header file. The errors (I have shortened the path to the framework for readability sake):

<unknown>:0: error: .../FScript.framework/Headers/FSArray.h:12: expected identifier
