I honestly had no idea Cappuccino was still even a thing since Motorola bought 280 North. Didn't they kill development?

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.

Quite alive indeed: https://github.com/280north/cappuccino/commits/master

Cappuccino the framework is open source.

We just put out a new major release about a month ago. We're very much alive. :)

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.
