StepTalk is the official GNUstep Scripting language framework. In fact, StepTalk is more than a scripting framework with an illusion of a single objective environment between objects of scriptable servers or applications. StepTalk, when combined with the dynamism that the Objective-C language provides, goes way beyond mere scripting. While it is meant to be language independent, its default language is Smalltalk which uses Objective-C runtime.

= Introduction =

The Goal of StepTalk is to provide an environment for gluing applications together and to provide a framework for communication between users and objects in the applications. Other major goals are:

The default scripting language in StepTalk is Smalltalk. This is because Smalltalk is a very simple language and it is easy to learn. There are just a few basic principles that the user has to know to be able to use the language and it is close to the natural language. Smalltalk uses a similar approach to that of Objective-C, the language used in GNUstep itself.

= Platforms =

StepTalk works on any platfor GNUstep works on. Ports to native Mac OS X Cocoa framework are being developed by various contributors.
