Step Talk is the official GNUstep scripting - Framework . StepTalk was written in Objective-C . Smalltalk is used by default as the scripting language, but any other scripting language can be added with a so-called "language bundle".

StepTalk is being developed in parallel for GNUstep and the macOS framework Cocoa , i. that is, it runs on all platforms on which GNUstep or Cocoa is also available.

introduction

The goal of StepTalk is to offer an environment to link applications to one another and to provide a framework for communication between users and objects in applications. Other main goals are:

  • Quick and easy expansion of applications or tools
  • Batch processing of objects in applications or tools
  • Rapid prototyping of applications or new application features (execute and refine a concept "online")

The standard scripting language in StepTalk is Smalltalk . This is because Smalltalk is a very simple and easy to learn programming language and is similar to a natural language. There are only a few basic principles that the user needs to know in order to be able to use the language. Smalltalk was a strong role model in the design of Objective-C - the language in which GNUstep and Cocoa themselves are written.
