I'm not a cappuccino user, but I'm glad to see that a client-side web framework has become adopted enough to warrant a conference. Hopefully we'll start to see a lot more of these pop up.

GWT has a fair number of sessions at google i/o as well - so not a dedicated conference, but a dedicated track at a conference.

Does anyone know the motivation for using Objective-J instead of vanilla JavaScript? Maybe it just makes things more comfortable for iOS developers who want to move to the web?

That's the major thing that would stop me from using Cappucino over SproutCore... I don't mind learning a new language if there's a compelling need for it, but I just don't see the point here. I'd love to be proved wrong though.

This is probably the best explanation available online http://cappuccino.org/discuss/2008/12/08/on-leaky-abstractio...

Also, objj is an extension to js, so "learning" it is not some monumental task, kind of like learning the latest additions made by ecmascript 5.
