GraphicsServices
A reimplementation of OS X's Event Pump in the style of GraphicsServices.
Why
OS X, like any modern operating system, has two faces: The kernel and userland. While the kernel is written in tight, modular, K&R-style C, userland is a hodge-podge of decisions [read: mistakes] made decades ago that still have not been cleaned up. Notably, though we are not allowed to interact with Carbon and its constituent sub-frameworks, Carbon has been kept alive on all of our systems and is the driving force behind integral UI components like voiceover, print panels, status bar windows, and event handling. Carbon's influence is so broad even AppKit must delegate to it frequently for platform behaviors.
Carbon controls far too much, and interacting with it in some form remains a necessary evil if one wishes to get an app off the ground and into the dock. That is, frankly, unacceptable. We can do better, we must do better! In that spirit this framework draws upon the essence of GraphicsServices, iOS' eventing and high-level graphics extension library to redo the fundamental event pump machinery in OS X.
