Extensions• Developers are power users

• API Blueprint (Apiary) wanted an integration with us

• Keep a smaller core code base

• Updates are easier, no need to submit a new binary

Pourquoi une API JS?• CocoaScript (alike Sketch.app)?

• Sandbox the power given to users

• Deal with Apple’s sandboxing

• Everybody knows how to hack in JavaScript

• JavaScript Core (and it’s bindings) is awesome

JavaScript Core• Powers Safari

• API C and Objective-C APIs

• Let’s us run JavaScript

• Bindings Objective-C <=> JavaScript
