I'm not building a big serious web app, so I have no real reason to learn Cappuccino that deeply. I also have no end of curiosity, so I am explicitly avoiding downloading the source code for fear of the time sink that would cause.
I was hoping for a blog post or two detailing some of the techniques and machinery involved with creating the compile-free Objective-J constructs. It would also be really interesting to hear what sort of effort was required in porting Cocoa. I'm not looking for "talk to me like I'm a 3 year old". I'm looking for "here's the gist of it", hacker to hacker. From where I am sitting now Objective-J is a pretty freaking impressive magic trick. I'd just like a peek behind the curtain, but I don't really want to see the schematics.
I'm sure you guys are even busier than I am, but if you do get a spare moment, I'd really appreciate it if you shared. I think it would probably also drive adoption. If it seems like an impressive magic trick to me, it probably seems like evil black magic and sorcery to others.
That's what I was afraid of :-)
