and now i do wish i had my camera

after some good progress this weekend, i've decided to make the second release of Gom.

What is Gom?

Gom allows you to write GTK applications using JavaScript and an HTML-like widget layout syntax.

Gom is on the Web: http://ilovegom.googlecode.com/!

this release has a huge number of improvements, but i will focus on the most exciting, and perhaps the most surprising: the beginnings of jQuery support.

last night after adding local-only support for the src attribute of script tags, i implemented a rudimentary window.navigator object. after a few more small bug fixes, jquery-1.2.3.js loads without errors into console.gom. some selectors even work:

using jQuery on a GTK+ app

for at least tonight, i can actually be satisfied, and consider Gom somewhat of a success: being able to write GTK+ apps using jQuery was one of the main goals when i started Gom about five months ago.
