Neat.

It's too bad that MacRuby is wed to, uh Macs, as it is maturing pretty quickly. I assume that's because there is not much dissonance between the broader goals of Apple's approach to Obj-C and Ruby the language. I'd like to see a day where it isn't the bastard step-child of Ruby VM's, but I somehow doubt that will happen.

The JRuby guys have been saying the same thing about JRuby for a while :P

MacRuby will also be installable/runnable on non-mac systems too i hear (although i guess we'll see how far that gets as well)


It only relies on Obj-C runtime, so it could conceivably run on any system.

Given the name though, I would surmise that is low priority for the developers.


I'm wondering if some of the OS X specific Frameworks have made it into the code...
