I'm not a Mac guru (or even Mac user), but Hubert.Holin presents an excellent argument for a full rewrite of the Poser core. Unless e-frontier wants to ditch Mac support, of course. wxWindows may not be the end-all of C++ programming, the framework is well accepted on multiple platforms. The practical approach would be using a framework that is widely accepted and used, and since P6 already uses parts of wxPython, extending the support would not be a really painful operation. Java? Would be nice. I prefer strong typed languages. But I haven't seen anything that plays nice with Java unless it has been written in Java itself. And I seem to remember that Sun is far more restrictive when it comes to adapting Java to the needs of the application than Python. Not a technical issue, a political one. Javascript? Maybe, but its object handling is peculiar to say the least. As for calling CFM code from MachO and vice versa: I'm fairly sure it involves sockets. As long as CFM runs on Mac OSX (and I'm pretty sure CFM will be dropped soon) it's possible to communicate using sockets. Slow, but it'll work.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
