I'm not sure I understand. JSC is used on a lot of platforms that are not OSX/iOS. I also never proposed a change to an OSX API. If you are talking about the new Obj-C API, as opposed to the C API I propose here, then yes, by all means it should follow OSX semantics. The existing C API however does not follow these.

I understand that a TypedArray API will be used for a whole number of different things. Obviously I can only speak for my own use cases here, but I'd argue that Ejecta already covers many of these, as it offers a full WebSocket, XMLHttpRequest, Canvas2D and WebGL implementation that makes heavy use TypedArrays.
