I'm starting to craft a GnuStep Foundation classes binding to Lua. This will indirectly compete with (cover the same area) as the POSIX modules discussed here a while back. The reasons I am doing this:

- Foundation is native on OS X, so it's kind of close to my heart :)

- Foundation is supported (via GnuStep) on Linux, Win32 and more so it's portable

- The APIs are stable, tested and well documented

- I just finished reading an Objective-C book, which has clear samples

This email is but a pre-warning that the work is proceeding, and perhaps a gentle query for opinions from people who're interested to follow by. The module will be available for any Lua 5.1 and I'll be making a fink package out of it. No exposure to Objective-C will be required in order to use it!

Cheers, and Happy 2007 to You All!  :)
