Sorry, I meant to say:

Yes, JavaScriptCore does replace JavaScriptGlue. JavaScriptGlue was an  
old C programming interface for using JavaScript directly, but it was  
incomplete, less efficient than JavaScriptCore's new API, and never  
was made into API.

I think you'll get some great results using the JavaScriptCore API. It  
should be straightforward to hook it up to your Objective-C objects,  
even though there's no automatic bridging. And it gives you the full  
ability to implement any aspect of a JavaScript object, unlike any  
other API we've provided in the past.
