Free Open Source Scripting Language For MacOS X Server Introduced
Philippe Mougin has released a scripting language for MacOS X Server that is both free and open source. The product is called F-Script and offers users both power and flexibility. According to Mr. Mougin:

F-Script is the first open source scripting language specifically designed to leverage the unique capabilities of Mac OS X Server.

F-Script is a high level, general-purpose scripting tool for power users and developers, which integrates perfectly with the native object model of MacOS X Server. Based on the most advanced object-oriented technologies, F-Script brings original features to Mac OS X Server, including a powerful Array Programming model.

F-Script features also include:

  • Smalltalk-like syntax and concepts, including full block closure
  • total integration with Cocoa
  • the possibility to be used as a component through an Interface Builder palette or an API
  • object oriented user interface
  • user-friendly object persistence and distributed objects
  • custom class integration
  • 100 % object-oriented

F-Script is free and open source. The project has its own web site with more information, download links, and other resources.
