macOS Google Toolbox for Mac Released

[longofest]

Thought about posting this on page2, but then again, we aren't a big developer destination, so I just thought I'd post it in here.

The google guys have brought the toolbox over to Mac. Read more here, and discuss.

So, what's a Google Toolbox? I followed the link, and several sub-links, but it's really not apparent.

I checked it out from the svn repository and poked around a little. It looks like a collection of utility code. I haven't seen anything "big" so far. But it's nice to have someone releasing generally useful, high-quality, well-tested code (presumably). You can get the gist of it from the file names:

It's a set of categories (extensions) on Cocoa classes.

Definitely some useful stuff in there, but nothing new. It's good to have a lot of it together with unit tests though.
