Very well done there! I really enjoyed this beautiful blog post. Keep posting.

I second this.

You might consider appending this to the "Learning Objective-J" tutorial at some point.

Just wanted to point out that

BOOL _hidden @accessors(getter=isHidden, setter=setIsHidden);

throws an exception in 0.7.1 as the setter requires a semicolon at the end of the selector, ie

BOOL _hidden @accessors(getter=isHidden, setter=setIsHidden:);

Just worth noting.

Guys, maybe it would be a good idea to update the "Learn Objective J" Tutorial with this, don't you think? Actually, what about hiring somebody responsible for the documentation?

I would agree with Matteo. I would have loved to just use @property. Ross, could you be more specific about the possible @property implementation in the future? I don't understand how/why you would do that. Are you guys planning to be able to target Cappuccino with Regular Objective C code? That would be certainly very nice if Apple would buy you guys ;)

Will the tutorials be modified to reflect this new functionality

Zach, I believe this is in fact the current behavior. You should be able to override them without any problems, but let us know if thats not the case.

I agree. We make considerable effort to stay compatible with Objective-C and Cocoa. However, in this case, the two features are not analogous, and so it doesn't make sense to use the Obj-C 2.0 syntax. Specifically, in the future, we may actually support that feature of Obj-C 2.0, which would potentially create a lot of incompatible code.

I have the same feeling as Matteo. In my mind, Obj-C 2.0 syntax should be preserved as much as possible. Of course, @synthesize doesn't make sense in Obj-J.

Can you specify @accessors and then override the getter or the setter?

Hi, guys... this is certainly an improvement. I was looking for this feature.
However, I would like cappuccino to stay as much as close to Objective-C 2.0. I don't want Objective-J to become a programming language per se.
I think it is very important to use the same syntax and naming conventions Objective-C 2.0 uses.
The same thing applies to Cappuccino.
