 This talk will present recent experimental results from QuantumSTEP on several embedded devices. QuantumSTEP is a full mobile application suite (e.g. PIM, dialer, browser etc.). It is based on an experimental variant of GNUstep called mySTEP. Many optimizations have been applied to learn what has to be considered for embedded devices with tight memory and processing power constraints.

 Simple Webkit is a reimplementation of major parts of the WebKit Obj-C API (WebView, WebFrame etc.). Internally it uses pure Obj-C. This keeps requirements towards the compiler low (there isn't Obj-C++ support for all embedded architectures). Another simplification is that it is completely based on the rendering engine of NSAttributedString and NSTextView instead of having its own. This keeps the code and binaries small for a full (X)HTML 4 compatible WebView (approx. 1 MByte). The presentation describes the internal architecture and the status of CSS and JavaScript integration.

 With the introduction of OS X 10.5 Apple had defined an gcc-extension for Objective-C which brings many interesting features to the language: garbage collection, properties, synchronization, fast enumerations, dot-notation for getters and setters, code blocks, etc. Although Apple provides their extensions back to gcc, integration is slow because it has to be tested against all other gcc features and also needs special considerations for different target architectures. So let's dicsuss another approach: write a preprocessor that maps the new Obj-C 2.0 features back to any existing Obj-C 1.0 compiler (plus some library calls if needed). This should allow to faster follow new developments of the language. The talk offers for discussion a flex/bison grammar for Obj-C 2.0 and some strategies for translating the new features.

 EtoileUI is a high-level UI toolkit for Étoilé where elements visible on screen are abstract nodes to which pluggable aspects can be bound. The same uniform tree structure is used to describe any kind of structured content (composite document, application User Interface etc.) and the role of each node can be entirely changed at runtime by altering the aspects bound to it.

 Objective-C support in the main branch of GCC has faltered somewhat in recent years, with no support for any of the new features in what Apple dubbed 'Objective-C 2.0'.  This lack of support for things like declared properties has, increasingly, made it difficult to port code from OS X to other platforms.  More recently, Apple has focussed on clang, a new front end for the LLVM compiler infrastructure, supporting C, Objective-C and C++.  This has made supporting new language features much easier.

 The Objective-C runtime library provides a set of functions and data structures used to implement the dynamic behaviour of Objective-C.  This is a Smalltalk-like object model, with dynamic message sending and introspection.  LanguageKit is part of the Étoilé project and provides an interpreter, just-in-time, and static compiler back end, using LLVM, for implementing dynamic languages.

 GNUstep began life as an implementation of the OpenStep specification.  Now, the most well-known implementation of OpenStep is called Cocoa and is the recommended way of developing software for Mac OS X and the iPhone.  GNUstep has continued to track these changes, and has become a good way of porting code from Mac OS X to Windows or *NIX.
