Editing Cocoa (API) (section)

===Other bindings===

The Cocoa programming environment can be accessed using other tools with the aid of [[language binding|bridge mechanisms]] such as [[PasCocoa]], [[PyObjC]], [[CamelBones]], [[RubyCocoa]], and a [[D (programming language)|D]]/Objective-C Bridge.

<!--Try to organize bindings, alphabetically by language.-->Third-party bindings available for other languages include [[AppleScript]], [[Clozure CL]], [[Monobjc]] and [[NObjective]] ([[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]]), [[Cocoa Sharp|Cocoa#]] (CLI), Cocodao and [[D (programming language)|D]]/Objective-C Bridge,<ref>[http://sourceforge.net/projects/cocodao/ Cocodao], bridge to create Cocoa applications in D language.</ref><ref>[http://michelf.com/weblog/2007/d-objc-bridge/ D/Objective-C Bridge], a [[language binding]] mechanism for Cocoa.</ref> [[LispWorks]], [[Object Pascal]], [[CamelBones]] ([[Perl]]), [[PyObjC]] ([[Python (programming language)|Python]]), [[FPC PasCocoa]] ([[Lazarus (IDE)|Lazarus]] and [[Free Pascal]]), [[RubyCocoa]] ([[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]]).<ref>[http://osx.hyperjeff.net/Reference/cocoa.php more extensive list of implementations]</ref>

A Ruby language implementation named [[MacRuby]], which removes the need for a bridge mechanism, was formerly developed by Apple, while [[Nu (programming language)|Nu]] is a [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]]-like language that uses the [[Objective-C]] object model directly, and thus can use the Cocoa frameworks without needing a binding.
