  I got excited, and then saw it was a blog post, not a repo. Which, I think, is an interesting reaction, itself.

  Completely separately, this looks like a great tutorial. I've been dragging my heels about getting into OS X/iOS development, and this just might be the kick in the pants I need.

  This might actually finally close the loop on doing some solid mobile development from my iPad (through Prompt or the like, of course). Not that I'd do heavy-duty coding on the road, but it'd be nice to try once or twice.

  For me the most interesting find here was fruitstrap, hadn't seen that before, and I had been looking few years ago!

  That'd make automated testing on device a lot more promising, and on cursory googling, people have used fruitstrap with jenkins.

  That is nice, but I use vim. Any tutorial on how to do this from vim/MacVim?

  It's just amazing. From this introduction, I learned how to generate TAGS and feed it to Emacs for the first time, and make up a custom "anything buffer" to capture any lines that I wish.

  Awesome X one million billion times.

  Thank you, roupam.

  This looks pretty excellent. I will be trying this out later.
