TLC, a tiny lua cocoa bridge

What I found instead is beautiful.

I haven't tried using TLC from the standalone luajit interpreter, but in that case you would probably have to use fii.load() to load the Framework & libobjc before being able to use objc. But that is not what it was designed for

To translate a LuaCocoa example you'd in most cases just have to add objc_loadClass calls for any class you want to use, and use dots instead of colons to call methods (obj:method() -> obj.method() ).

It doesn't support subclassing objective-c objects so that would probably limit you if you tried to write your app exclusively in lua.

And from what I can tell, iphonewax is intended for writing entire apps in lua, this project is intended to be used when embedding bits of lua code in your objc app. (But there's nothing stopping you from writing most of your app in it)
