Creating a Cocoa GUI window with NodObjC

cocoa-hello-world.js

var $ = require('./')
$.import('Foundation')
$.import('Cocoa')

var pool = $.NSAutoreleasePool('alloc')('init')

var app = $.NSApplication('sharedApplication')
var style = $.NSClosableWindowMask | $.NSResizableWindowMask
          | $.NSTexturedBackgroundWindowMask | $.NSTitledWindowMask
          | $.NSMiniaturizableWindowMask

var rect = $.NSMakeRect(50, 50, 600, 400)
var win = $.NSWindow('alloc')('initWithContentRect', rect
                            , 'styleMask', style
                            , 'backing', $.NSBackingStoreBuffered
                            , 'defer', 0)
win('makeKeyAndOrderFront', win)
app('run')

pool('release')

I just got it working - was a problem with my node installation ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7437447/how-to-build-and-install-node-js-on-osx-from-git-clone/7438098#7438098) which I solved by completely removing it, the re-installing everything. After that - I had to install NodObjC twice (once before all the other modules like express etc...) - both times with success message, then it all works fine. Hello world and cocoa. Happy days. Thanks a bunch for your help. This is a very exciting project. Javascript is appearing everywhere now - I really like it. Cheers Billy
