Objective-J is a seriously interesting language

I'm working my way through the Objective-J tutorials at the moment. OJ is absolutely brilliant. It has simply(!) transposed the Objective-C syntax into Javascript. And the result is stunning. In-browser apps which look and feel like Mac OS X apps. All the years of OC accumulated knowledge and the ubiquity of JS in every browser. Glad I spent some time learning OC. I thought it was wasted with my chances of getting work programming in OC being close to zero. But with the incredible popularity of the iPhone and the iTouch and now with OJ, OC(-like) programming is going to hit the charts with a bullet.

And I've already got a great (but big!) app I can develop in OJ.
