Hi, Niklas Saers
This script cannot use in Xcode 4.3.2, iOS SDK5.1. Could you update this script for Xcode 4.3.2, please?
Best Regards.

OSX 10.6 ships with Perl 5.10.0 which is set up to run in 64 bit mode. This breaks a few things required by Mac::Glue. The solution is to force Perl to run in 32 bit mode.

Just issue this from Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.versioner.perl Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes

and everything works again.

Cheers

Hi Alex,
That would indeed be very cool. Not sure how much it would grow the browsers to support all of these. I mean, I have llvm laying around, but I don’t expect everybody to, so it could be a fair bit extra.

Cheers

Nik

> The only problem with Dart is that everyone had their hopes up for the perfect language that would contain all their pet features. And of course, the set of preferred combinations is probably as big as the number of developers in the world.

Another argument for Polygot Client — aka “support the language attribute in the SCRIPT tag”.

Why shouldn’t I use Scheme or LUA to code my browser game? Why shouldn’t I use Ruby to code my client-side webapp? Why shouldn’t my “learn to program” app teach Logo? Why can’t we have scratch.mit.edu or kidsruby.com programs running in browsers? Why does rubymonk.com need a “send code to the server” hack? And why does testfirst.org need to use git clone instead of running inline?

Since JS is the only game in town, browser engineering effort is focused on optimizing JS interpreters. With a tiny little shift, all that effort could be turned to a generic VM (like LLVM or even JVM) which compiles any number of languages into a common bytecode and then runs blazingly fast and efficiently. An ecosystem of tools and standards could arise around debugging and optimizing and porting and emulating this VM.

Hi Nik,
Thank you for this trick, I thought, I’ll be crazy if i’ve to do a remove/add just for an Update.
So easy:
- ABRecordSetValue with the property what was changed
- ABAddressBookAddRecord
- ABAddressBookSave

Thanks again.
